What is the role of the Project Supervisor Construction Stage?

 The role of the Project Supervisor Construction Stage (PSCS) is to manage and co-ordinate health and safety matters during the construction stage.  The PSCS is appointed before the construction work on any site begins and remains in that position until all construction work on the project is completed. The PSCS must develop a suitable construction safety & health plan for the project prior to the commencement of construction work. The plan provides the blueprint for managing and co-ordinating safety and health during construction and explains in detail how the key safety and health issues will be managed. It must be relevant to the project and should be developed in conjunction with the Safety and Health Plan prepared on a preliminary basis by the Project Supervisor Design Process (PSDP).

The PSCS will work closely with the site manager/ managers to ensure all health & safety matters stay on target.

What is a Construction Stage Safety plan?

When appointed by the client as the Project Supervisor Construction Stage (PSCS) on the construction site you must develop a suitable construction stage safety and health plan for the project before commencement. The plan provides the blueprint for managing and co-ordinating safety and health during construction and needs to explain how the key safety and health issues will be managed. It must be relevant to the project and should be developed in conjunction with the Safety and Health Plan prepared on a preliminary basis by the Project Supervisor Design Process (PSDP).
