    Section 3Safety and Health Training

    Safety training plays an important role in improving safety performance by imparting

    new skills and knowledge as well as improving attitude and behaviour.

    The Site Safety and Environmental Committee will identify the training needs and

    prepare a training programme for individual trades and workers engaged in specific

    activities in accordance with the master programme, method statements and Risk-

    assessment Records.

    Moreover, a detailed Training Plan, including objectives, syllabus, target attendees,

    trainer, duration and frequency for each training topic will be prepared by the Safety

    Officer. That plan, which will be reviewed every six months or when there is a change

    of activity/regulation, shall include details of:

    Advance Safety Induction Training (ASIT);

    Safety Induction;

    Re-induction Course;

    Safety Training for Special Activities (e.g. working in deep shaft);

    Tool-box Meetings;

    Safety-management Training; Green, Silver and Blue Cards,

    Confined Space Certified Worker Certificate,

    Crane Appreciation Course,

    Safety Leadership Training,

    Incident Causation Analysis Model (ICAM) Training,

    accordingly.

    3.3 Induction Training Test

    Before the employees are permitted to start work on site, each employee

    will be requested to attend a site safety induction course and pass a

    requisite test. In the event that a subcontractors employee fails to pass

    the induction test, that employee will be given a further opportunity to re-sit

    the test. Failure to meet the necessary standard at that second attempt

    will result in that employee being refused permission to work on the site.

    That employee will not be permitted to restart the induction process until a

    further six months have elapsed since re-sitting the test.

    3.4 Re-induction Course

    As the project proceeds, site conditions and the nature of works may

    require safety procedures and associated emergency preparedness to berevised. In such cases, a re-induction course shall be held as required.

    However, re-induction will, in any case, be held not later than six months

    after the initial induction to refresh safety consciousness and

    understanding of the relevant changes to the project safety system.

    3.5 Safety Training for Special Activities

    Special safety training will be arranged for relevant personnel required to

    work on special activities and/or under special working environments, eg,

    gas welding, confined space works.

    Special training needs and an appropriate training programme will be

    developed according to such site activities and work progress. The special

    training needs and the programme will be reviewed and updated in the

    Contractors Monthly Safety and Environmental Report, which will be

    forwarded to the Highway Departments Representative.

    3.6 Tool-box Meetings

    The purpose of tool-box meetings is to make sure that safety information

    relevant to trade and hazards arising out of the construction of the worksare disseminated to all levels of site personnel. Competent trainers, i.e.
