PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE
Safety
Engineering and Buildability for Infrastructure Projects
Introduction
Safety engineering
and buildability are an integral process for the development of any
infrastructure projects. From early inception of an infrastructure project, the
concept of safety must be borne in mind from broad approach to minor detailing
. This is a project management technique to review construction process from
start to finish during pre-construction phase in order to identify any safety
obstacles before a project is actually built to reduce or prevent accident. The
term “Buildability” defines the ease and efficiency with which structures can
be built in a safe manner. It cannot be over-emphasized such importance. The
more buildable an infrastructure project is, the more economical it will be.
Safety and buildability are in part a reflection of the quality of the design
documents, that is to say, if the design document is difficult to understand
and interpret, the project will be difficult to build and vice versa.
Content
With the aid of
video and power point, the presentation for this course will be conducted in 4
consecutive sessions (3 hours each) covering the following issues:
1. Construction
safety legislations in Hong Kong by highlighting the legal instruments for Cap
59, Cap 509 together with in-depth explanation of Construction Site (Safety)
Regulations.
2. Understanding of
construction accidents, its theories, causation investigation and prevention
together with illustration and sharing of various real court cases.
3. Construction
Design Management (CDM) and Processes including design for safety and pitfalls.
4. Assessment of
safety and buildability by looking into the four elements of safety
engineering, planning, design and construction as illustrated in the chart
below in relation to :
a. Achieving the
desired final quality and the safety standard
b. Meeting the
programme requirement
c. De-risking
perceived problems
d. Achieving optimum
value for money.
5. The engineering
aspect of safety and buildability of various infrastructure projects will be
presented covering bridges , highways, railways and buildings etc.
