Preface

INTRODUCTION

There is a complexity of inter linkage factors starting from project inception to construction stage that leads to accidents. However it is difficult to trace them back under a dynamic system of procurement process. In fact, evidence has shown that many factors associated with construction accidents can be traced back to the designers’ responsibility (may it be architect or engineers) as well as the client’s responsibility.

One solution that can improve the OSH effectiveness in construction site is through sufficient allocation and provision of OSH specification at all stages stipulated in the tender document. By having clear specification and OSH provision stipulated in documents, it is a must that the contractors have to provide sufficient cost for it and it will be counted as part of the agreed project cost and they will have a better indicator/instruction to implement sufficient site safety. According to the Master Plan for Occupational Safety and Health in Construction Industry 2005 – 2010 (MPOSH) produced by Department of Occupational Safety and Health, Human Resources Ministry and Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), there is a need to specify health and safety requirements in the contract document for the nation. Such health and safety requirements may provide comprehensive guidelines and evidential analysis for any accident taking place on site. This may help anyone involved during construction to take any action in order to eliminate, avoid and reduce potential deficiencies leading to increased risk of accident.

Hence, this Guideline: Incorporating OSH Into Tender Document is a reference to create a basis against which Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) items are specified at the Pre-Contract Stage. This will enable the OSH activities to be embedded and monitored during the execution or Post-Contract period.

This Guideline comprising of templates: OSH Specification and Schedule of Prices do not intend to supersede the current OSH related documents enforced but act as reference for industry players. It is hope that these templates will leads to the formulation of Construction Industry Standards (CIS) in future.

Preface

USERS’ GUIDE

SECTION TWO: OSH SPECIFICATION

1. The specification will act as a template to incorporate OSH within a Tender Document. 2. Where Standard Specification is used, the OSH Specification can be incorporated as an Addendum Specification (place after the Standard Specification). 3. The user may use in whole or part of the clauses in the specification depending on the requirements. 4. The term acceptable standards, other than that listed under glossary can be replaced with any other standards decided by the Client. 5. This specification also acts as a cross-reference while pricing the Schedule of Prices.

SECTION THREE: OSH SCHEDULE OF PRICES

1. The incorporation of OSH into a Tender Document can be in the form of Provisional Sum. 2. Where a Provisional Sum is provided for compliance to Occupational Safety and Health requirements, OSH Schedule of Prices should be incorporated as part of the Tender Document. OR Where OSH items are extended and specified within the Preliminaries, OSH Schedule of Prices should be incorporated as part of the Tender Document. 3. The prices quoted by the Contractor, subject to rationalization by the client representative upon signing of a contract shall be used as a basis against which the total price of OSH compliance is arrived at. 4. While pricing the items, cross-reference to the relevant OSH specification is a requirement.
