THE construction industry in any country all over the world is known to be the catalyst for economic growth and development. To ensure that it can be developed progressively and successfully, we not only need a professional and skilful work force but also workers with adequate exposure to and competency on all aspects of safety and health at the work place.
Those involved in the construction industry should realise the dire consequences of flouting safety guidelines and cutting corners, poor design, shoddy workmanship and inadequate supervision.
