3RD INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ADVANCES IN STEEL & COMPOSITE STRUCTURES

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.In this year award, we will recognise all projects which satisfy the assessment criteria as stated in the brochure with Terms and conditions.

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.

INNOVATIONS IN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES

As consultants we face daily challenges of regulatory changes, keeping in pace with technology advancement, continual effort to improve efficiency in our works and ensuring core competency is always maintained as well as continual progression in learning from engineering challenges faced in the industry.ACES as a representative of practitioners is always looking for ways to keep our members well informed of the industry practices, advancements and changes via these seminars to meet the challenges above.

Infrastructure Insights: A Holistic and Practical Approach to Site Investigation, Geotechnical Reporting, and Determination of Design Parameters

*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.

Given the dynamic nature of the construction industry, technological advances, regulatory changes and the evolving workforce, the construction industry will also have to manage the shift and nature of the jobs.HR professionals and employers will need to constantly consider their human capital practices and plan strategically to meet shifting demands in the construction industry. With this in mind, SCAL, together with IHRP, had recently launched the HR guidebook for the construction sector. The Masterclass seeks to provide guidance on the use of the guidebook on critical areas of human capital practices and development

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.
