The fertilizer industry's leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies, by setting zero incident safety goals, are making construction sites across world safer. In this article, we highlight the safety advantages of modular construction and digital approaches to safety at construction sites.Abstract
Construction site safety is always a top concern. Given that construction is a comparatively high risk activity, it comes as no surprise that the industry’s fatalities accounted for around one-fifth of all deaths at work in the United States from 2016 to 2020, corresponding to around 1,000 lost lives annually (Figure 1).

Small, soft fruits such as blueberries, raspberries and strawberries thrive on fertile, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Their nutrient needs can vary widely according to yield expectations and soil characteristics.Abstract
Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are widely consumed as fresh fruit or in preserves (jams), juices and cordials. In response to their growing popularity, world production of small fruits is on the rise – thanks to a larger global cropping area, new varieties and better use of fertilizers and other crop inputs.
