Course details
The Design Phase is the earliest opportunity to incorporate Safety into a construction project. Just as productivity can be enhanced with early planning, so is the greatest impact for safety. Designing for safety starts at the conceptual and planning phases of a project with collective and conscious decisions by stakeholders about the design, methods of construction and later demolition, and also the materials used which enhance the safety of the building or structure.
In 2008, WSH Council launched the Guidelines on Design for Safety in Buildings and Structures, followed by the DfS Coordinator Course in 2010. In addition to building DfS capabilities of stakeholders, WSH Council has developed the DfS Recognition Scheme which was launched in 2011. Consisting of the DfS Mark and DfS Award, the Scheme aims to recognise competent and outstanding projects that have addressed risk through design and hence ensure safe & timely completion of the project.
Objectives
To understand the DfS Coordinating process in a construction project and familiarize with the Guideline on Design for Safety and Health in Buildings and Structures.
To appreciate Design for Safety for successful project completion.
