True
Flase
The main contractor is solely responsible for the ‘method and sequences of construction’, the approval safety plans by the authorities, his own management, supervision and coordination of the construction work for example the temporary works. Thus, the Consulting Engineer has the role to ensure the safety in the implementation of the temporary works. True or False
True
False
The followings are the Project/Construction Manager's responsibilities regarding safety on site EXCEPT
to have a team of properly qualified safety personnel assisting him/her in executing his/her role to ensure safety in construction
to provide safety for all workmen’s access to structures, scaffolding, catch and working platforms, material handling, heavy lifting and hauling systems, tower cranes, and earth retaining systems, taking into account the imposed construction loads acting on the uncompleted and completed structure
to fulfill design requirements specified by CIDB for temporary works
must be competent to design for the temporary work as required
The followings are a good design criteria EXCEPT
Meet some of the requirements
Works all the time
Meet cost requirement
Requires little or no maintenance
The contractor's professional engineer should be given adequate information on the design intentions on drawings and specifications to enable him to devise safe methods of construction and has the responsibility of to inform the Consulting Engineer on the method of construction of the structure and to ensure that the construction method and sequence of work does not conflict with the consultant’s design intention for the structure. True or False.
True
False
