"The SACPCMP now has six months to get construction HS Officer and HS Manager registrations sorted. The permit system and HS Agent registration is unaffected, the deadline remains 18 months after promulgation.

Overview
This three day Masterclass looks to apply the new Construction Regulations 2014 to
effective contractor management.
The Construction Regulations 2014 was promulgated on 7 February 2014, setting the tone
for a new approach to health and safety in the built environment. Not only does it place
more direct duties on principal contractors, but also puts more emphasis on client
involvement in the risk management functions of the construction process. Driven by the
Department of Public Works, the Council for the Built Environment and the Department of
Labour, a number of new professionals are set to emerge from the changes, as health and
safety practitioners will have to be registered with the South African Council for
construction and project management professions.
The focus moves from the historical to the innovative as new concepts such as design
risk management are introduced from the start of a construction project. A few minor
changes created challenges in most industries, not necessarily falling in the construction
sector.
