The BCA Design and Engineering Safety Award was launched in May 2008 to give recognition to the Qualified Person for Structural Works [QP(ST)], QP(ST)s firm and the project team for ingenious design processes and solutions in overcoming project challenges to ensure safety in design, construction and maintenance of building and civil engineering projects locally and overseas.

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.
