ABSTRACT

Every construction organization should have a clear

policy for the management of health and safety so that

everybody associated with the organization is aware of its

health and safety aims and objectives. For a policy to be

effective, it must be honoured in the spirit as well as the

letter. A good health and safety policy will also enhance

the performance of the organization in areas other than

health and safety, help with the personal development of

the workforce and reduce financial losses. It is important

that each construction site throughout the organization is

aware of the policy.
