*Revamped & Revised to DfS Guidelines 2022* The regulatory requirement for Design-for-Safety (DfS) was enforced since August 2016. It requires stakeholders to work together to address foreseeable risks right from the conceptual design to the construction of the project. During the construction stage, the DfS review meetings will involve the design & supervision team from the Consultants and construction team from the Contractor. They will participate in reviewing safety and health risks relating to design and propose mitigation measures for implementation.

Job Redesigning Sharing Session - Holistic Look at Workforce Transformation for the Built Environment Sector

This Competency Requirement document specifies the performance criteria, underpinning knowledge, range and context for the design, training and assessment of the Design for Safety Professionals (DfSP) Course. Learners of this course will gain the knowledge and skills for fulfilling the roles of the construction in accordance with the guideline on Design for Safety and Health in Buildings and Structures.

To provide training programs (on-line) for graduates and practicing engineers in the ACMV industry who need to either extend or update their knowledge on a particular subject(s) in accordance with current developments in the industry.

Design risk can be managed effectively by identifying the hazard and controlling the risk through Design for Safety (DfS) reviews during project development.Designing for safety should start at the early stage of a project whereby key stakeholders will review the design progressively to identify hazards on the building layout, materials used and construction methods etc. so as to enhance the safety of the project for construction as well as operation and maintenance.

In collaboration with Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and Workforce Singapore (WSG), Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) warmly invites HR Managers, HR Business Partners, HR Directors and Business Owners to a half-day briefing on Job Redesign and to share on an upcoming project to aggregate demand and redesign multiple job roles relevant to construction firms.
