Course Introduction

The purpose of the course is to gain knowledge, understanding and competency on various theories and practices of construction safety and quality management. The course introduces learners to construction safety and health, importance of jobsite safety, occupational Health in Construction, theory of Accidents, and the management of safety and health in construction through the lens of risk management, ISO 9001 principles, OHSAS 18001 principles.

The Prospen Africa Construction Safety and Quality Management course also introduces learners to the concept of quality including product and process quality, and quality culture. It introduces students to the principles and application of construction quality management, Total Quality Management (TQM), tools and techniques for quality, and an introduction to the ISO 9001, its principles and procedures. The Construction Safety and Quality Management course then introduces students to the concept of Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a solution to enhance safety and quality management in construction sites. training, safety considerations, and provides practical guidance for operation, maintenance, and testing of HV/MV switchgear. Attendees will find latest information on circuit breaker technologies, current and voltage transformers, protective relays, energy metering, generator protection and much more. Installation of distribution and transmission equipment has increased significantly over the years due to ongoing global demand for power. As a result, the need to ensure reliability of operation of power systems is paramount.
