1 Applying the new Construction Health & Safety Regulations WEBINAR 2015 This Series of Training Webinars has been organised to provide Professionals working in the Built Environment with a detailed understanding of the new Construction Health and Safety (CHS) Regulations whose application is mandatary from 7 th August The Webinars specifically address the risks involved in not having CHS Client / Consultant Agreements in place for your Projects. Emphasis will be placed on the importance and availability of written CHS Documentation including the PROCSA Client / Construction Health & Safety Consultant Agreement. The Workshop will also provide invaluable knowledge about roles and responsibilities of the Developer and members of the Project Team relative to Health & Safety. Including: Obtaining the permits and the requirement for SACPCMP (Pr. CHSA) registration of Construction Health and Safety Agents. Also featured will be the e-safety Document Access Service that provides easy on-line access and completion of the recommended CHS Documents. The use of which, increases Project productivity and efficiency and reduces risk. One important aspect not to be missed are the consequences and penalties of noncompliance to the new Regulations. Most construction incidents stem from professional and management failures in the planning stages of a Project. The new regulations now put responsibility and accountability with the professionals and ultimately with the Client. It is the responsibility of the professionals to advise their Clients of their Health & Safety responsibilities.
