Safety in construction sites is of paramount importance not only to protect oneself but also to ensure safety for fellow personnel on site. This programme is for stakeholders in construction projects (Resident Engineers, Resident Technical Officers, Site Supervisor etc) and it explains the concepts related to risk management & control which can be applied to activities on construction site. Participants can apply the risk management & control concepts to create a safer workplace for themselves and their fellow site personnel. They will have an appreciation of how safety management systems and audits can be set up and how it can improve safety on site. They can also systematically investigate accident related to site activities and file reports to allow subsequent review and improvement.

The course covers the basic principles to handling and treatment of reinforcement and starter bars on site to prevent future corrosion problems. It also shares the salient issues when considering alternative protection of reinforcement under extremely harsh environment. It is useful for the Resident Engineer (RE) and Resident Technical Officer (RTO) to have knowledge of proper handling and treatment of reinforcement on site and understand the possible issues when considering other ways to protect reinforcement against future corrosion.

SS 631 specifies minimum performance requirements for unpainted and prepainted metal products intended to be fabricated for use in the building industry in exterior applications such as roofing, wall cladding, soffits and awnings. It covers the use of galvanized, zinc/aluminium, prepainted profile in steel and aluminium. It is intended to be read in conjunction with manufacturers technical product literature. It provides guidelines, information and recommendations to the specifier and end user on the design, performance, installation, transportation and handling of metalroofing material.SS 637 covers systems commonly used for waterproofing of reinforcedconcrete buildings. It contains sections of waterproofing of basement, floor,wall, roof and precast concrete elements. It provides guidance on waterproofing against with or without hydrostatic pressure and against moisture from the ground.
