IntroductionThe foundation of our healthcare system is primary healthcare services which will continue to increase as we face an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases in tandem with an ageing population, changing lifestyles and longer life expectancies. As such, polyclinics which are defined as one-stop healthcare centres, independent of a hospital, will provide subsided primary care which includes primary medical treatment and examination, preventive healthcare and health education for patients of different age groups.By 2030, one in four Singaporeans is aged 65 or above. The Government will continue to build capacity, including that of nursing homes beds to be sited within senior-friendly neighbourhoods and to locate aged care residential and support facilities within the community to support new care models that will enable the seniors to receive better care, closer to their homes and familiar surroundings.The new Technical Reference (TR 65) for Facility Design for Polyclinics and (TR 66) for Facility Design for Nursing Homes are part of MOH Holdings standardisation plans for healthcare infrastructure.These two Technical References specify the general guidelines for the planning and design of polyclinics and nursing homes in Singapore. They provide guidance on the specific technical requirements of related facilities sited within a polyclinic and nursing home to consultants and personnel who may be involved in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of polyclinics and nursing homes.Who Should Attend Architects Engineers Facilities managers Healthcare operators Medical / healthcare personnel Project consultants and contractors Relevant government agenciesWhat You Will Learn Overview of the new TR 65 for Facility Design for Polyclinics and TR 66 for Facility Design for Nursing Homes Planning, functional and design considerations Insights from industry experts involved in the planning and design of polyclinics and nursing homes

The objectives of the technical talk is to provide the knowledge and awareness on the fundamentals and first principles associated with functional safety and hazardous area classification.Two distinguished industry experts will deliver the talk through the interactive sessions. Process engineers, process designers, process safety engineers, electrical engineers and instrumentation engineers would benefit by attending this talk.

In this years WSH Conference, jointly organised by BCA Academy and IOSH (Singapore), WSH experts and practitioners from Singapore and overseas will share on several topics. There will be two Keynote Speakers; Mr Sebastian Tan, Director, Occupational Safety and Health Inspectorate, Ministry of Manpower, as well as Dr. Vincent Ho, IOSH President and Head of Corporate Safety, MTR Corporation (Hong Kong).

Computational BIM or rule-based approach refers to innovative problem-solving processes in which users define algorithms and workflows to automate tasks, optimise outputs and manage changes across different project phases. It allows users to explore more options leading to desired solution for productivity gain. Computational BIM also forms an important part of Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD). Increasingly, local and international project teams are adopting it to optimise their project delivery.

Up-to-date knowledge of local regulations and construction practices are key to the site supervisors especially the Resident Engineers (RE) and Resident Technical Officers (RTO) to deliver their duties diligently and effectively.This course will provide site supervisors essential knowledge in the areas of regulatory requirements, safety regulations, environmental management at construction sites, code requirements on construction practices and site supervision. This course is also useful to engineers with foreign qualifications, and others who wish to be updated on local construction practices.

This one-day course covers the detailed design of reinforced concrete structural elements to Eurocode 2 (EC2). The emphasis is on buildings that are constructed insitu, braced by structural walls and are non-sway.

The Security of Payment Act facilitates payments for construction work done or for related goods/services supplied in the building and construction industry. It aims to improve cash flow in the construction industry by giving parties the right to seek progress payments for work done, and to provide quick and low-cost resolution of payment disputes through adjudication. The course provides an overview of the key essentials in the Security of Payment legislation. It aims to enhance participants understanding on the mechanism, requirements and considerations of the Security of Payment Act and discusses payment issues typically encountered in building and construction projects.

The objective of this course is to identify and waken players of the industry to as many as practically possible risks occurring in the course of comprehensive delivery of a construction project and suggest ways to avoid, mitigate, eliminate or overcome such risks. One-time only, strictly no re-runs. Register early to avoid disappointment.

bizSAFE is a programme which is administered by the Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSHC) tailored to assist the companies to build up their workplace safety and health capabilities. The programme provides a 5-level approach to help companies build up their capabilities progressively. Companies participating in this programme will gain recognition and benefit from having a comprehensive WSH system in place. To start the bizSAFE journey, an enterprises top management has to sign up for this bizSAFE Level 1.

This course aims to : provide crucial information and knowledge on the new legislative requirements on Environmental Sustainability for Buildings | provide an understanding on the interpretation of the Green Mark Criteria and Scores for new building developments Residential & Non-residential Buildings | provide a better understanding on the submission procedures and walk through of the Green Mark (GM) e-filing system.
