4 Reducing Risks at Source

5 Stagnating WSH Performance in Construction 5

6 Number of Workplace Fatal Injuries Stagnating WSH Performance in Construction Construction sector continued to be the top contributor of workplace fatalities. The number of fatalities has remained relatively the same since Chart 1 - Workplace Fatal Injuries by Sector, Construction Marine Manufacturing Transport & Storage Others

7 Stagnating WSH Performance in Construction Workplace Fatal Injury Rate (per 100,000 employed persons) The Workplace Fatal Injury Rate for the Construction sector has stagnated at around 5.5 since The rate is also the highest amongst all industries. 12 Chart 2 - Workplace Fatal Injuries & Rate, Stagnation since Construction Marine Manufacturing Transport & Storage Others

8 44% of Fatalities could have been prevented if DfS elements were considered Study of Accidents in 2012 Construction accident investigation reports for fatal accidents that occurred in the year of 2012 in Singapore were used in the analysis. A total of 25 cases in the construction industry were assessed. Accidents that may have been prevented if DfS elements were incorporated during design and construction stages Accidents that could have been mitigated if proper measures were implemented during construction Accidents that cannot be assessed due to insufficient information or could not be prevented even if proper design or measures were taken Design stage 24% 20% 44% 44% 12% Construction stage

9 Design for Safety Around the World Design through Construction Safety OSHA (US) Construction Design and Management Regulations HSE (UK) since 1994 Directive 92/57/EEC EU- OSHA since South Africa Section 10 of OH&S Act Construction Regulations Safe Design Report part of Model Work Health and Safety Regulations 2012, including Commonwealth, Queensland, NSW, NT, ACT, SA and TAS 2. Section 28 of the Victorian OH&S Act

10 UK experience with CDM UK CDM was enacted in 1994, revised in 2007 and next revision in 2015 Key changes of CDM over the years: Format of Regulations Pre-Construction Planning CDM Regs Planning Supervisor CDM Regs combined with Construction Regs CDM Coordinator - Principal Designer Duties on Clients Domestic Client excluded Domestic Client included - Competence of Stakeholders Competence specified - Competence section removed 10

11 Presentation Outline Impetus to Mandate DfS in Singapore WSH (DfS) What is DfS? Regulations 2015 An Quick Overview 11

12 Concept of DfS In line with principal of WSH Act, the person who creates the risk must be responsible to manage the risks. Need to ensure that risks created as a result of design be reviewed through a systematic process and the resultant mitigated risk be communicated down the project process chain In specifying the design, stakeholders should consider how the structure can be constructed, used, maintained and decommissioned safely. Need to study the design and assess the risks to persons constructing as well as others affected such as public and people using the structure in future. A framework to ensure communication of vital safety and health information along the entire construction process chain to help stakeholders to participate in making vital WSH decisions. 12

13 DfS To identify and address foreseeable risks throughout the entire Lifecycle of the Project Reducing Risk at Source DfS Starts from Concept Design Stage Planning Decommissioned Building Lifecycle Construction Maintenance Outcome: A building which can be constructed, maintained & decommissioned safely 13

14 Guidelines on DfS GUIDE Process G U I D E Group together a review team consisting of major stakeholder s Understand the full design concept by looking at the drawings and calculations, or have the designers elaborate on the design Identify the risks that arise as a result of the design or construction method. The risks should be recorded and analysed to see if they can be eliminated by changing the design Design around the risks identified to eliminate or mitigate the risks Enter all the information including vital design change information affecting safety and health or remaining risks to be mitigated into the Risk Register.

15 Guidelines on DfS GUIDE Process GUIDE 1 Concept Design Review GUIDE 2 GUIDE 3 Detailed Design Review Preconstruction Design Review

16 DfS Review Process Developer DfS Register Outcome of Review: A Safe Design endorsed by all Parties and a Record of Residual Risks or vital Safety and Health Information to be communicated to all Stakeholders in the process chain

25 WSH DfS Regulations 2016 WSH (Design for Safety) Regulations aims to: Place responsibility for the safety and health of workers on those that create the risks; Achieve sustained WSH improvements through better coordination amongst all stakeholders to manage WSH risks upstream at the design and planning phase; and Improve the planning and effective management of safety and health risks throughout the entire lifecycle of the construction project ie from the design to construction stages and maintenance of the completed building or structure WSH (Design for Safety) Regulations
