Section 3 Safety and Health Training Safety training plays an important role in improving safety performance by imparting new skills and knowledge as well as improving attitude and behaviour. The Site Safety and Environmental Committee will identify the training needs and prepare a training programme for individual trades and workers engaged in specific activities in accordance with the master programme, method statements and Risk-assessment Records. Moreover, a detailed Training Plan, including objectives, syllabus, target attendees, trainer, duration and frequency for each training topic will be prepared by the Safety Officer. That plan, which will be reviewed every six months or when there is a change of activity/regulation, shall include details of: Advance Safety Induction Training (ASIT); Safety Induction; Re-induction Course; Safety Training for Special Activities (e.g. working in deep shaft); Tool-box Meetings; Safety-management Training; Green, Silver and Blue Cards, Confined Space Certified Worker Certificate, Crane Appreciation Course, Safety Leadership Training, Incident Causation Analysis Model (ICAM) Training, Scaffold Appreciation Course, Electrical Appreciation Course, and Training Records. 3.1 Advance Safety Induction Training (ASIT)

Particulars of all attendees will be recorded in the Safety Training Record from which a Summary of Safety Inductions will be prepared and updated accordingly.

3.3 Induction Training Test Before the employees are permitted to start work on site, each employee will be requested to attend a site safety induction course and pass a requisite test. In the event that a subcontractors employee fails to pass the induction test, that employee will be given a further opportunity to re-sit the test. Failure to meet the necessary standard at that second attempt will result in that employee being refused permission to work on the site. That employee will not be permitted to restart the induction process until a further six months have elapsed since re-sitting the test.

3.4 Re-induction Course As the project proceeds, site conditions and the nature of works may require safety procedures and associated emergency preparedness to be revised. In such cases, a re-induction course shall be held as required. However, re-induction will, in any case, be held not later than six months after the initial induction to refresh safety consciousness and understanding of the relevant changes to the project safety system.

3.5 Safety Training for Special Activities Special safety training will be arranged for relevant personnel required to work on special activities and/or under special working environments, eg, gas welding, confined space works. Special training needs and an appropriate training programme will be developed according to such site activities and work progress. The special training needs and the programme will be reviewed and updated in the Contractors Monthly Safety and Environmental Report, which will be forwarded to the Highway Departments Representative.

3.6 Tool-box Meetings The purpose of tool-box meetings is to make sure that safety information relevant to trade and hazards arising out of the construction of the works are disseminated to all levels of site personnel.

handle it; give proper consideration to safety during planning and design stages

to eliminate/reduce safety problems during later stages of the project; take into account potential safety problems during preparation/vetting

of method statements; avoid performing unsafe acts; avoid creating unsafe conditions, and identify unsafe acts/conditions and arrange for rectification. The Project Director will identify appropriate management and supervisory staff to receive safety training commensurate with their duties, which include but not limited to follows: Managerial posts such as project director, site agent, sub agent, superintendent and engineer - Occupational Safety Management Course - Basic Accident Prevention Course Supervisory staff such as foreman and ganger including subcontractors of all tiers - Foreman Safety Training Course or Construction Safety Supervisor
