Construction projects involve a great number of people, which makes effective site management absolutely crucial. Due to the nature of construction, health and safety monitoring and quality control are the main areas that require constant attention.
Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning (EPCIC) contracts are the most common contract used within construction. These contracts strictly lay out terms of work in great detail, and are an essential tool in driving productivity, yet they also have a strong focus on health and safety. EPCICs require a vast amount of planning before a project is carried out, ensuring all safety measures and risk elements are accounted for and considered in regard to an adequate contingency plan.
Site managers are responsible for overseeing quality, and maintaining health, safety, and welfare in alignment with EPCIC from start to finish. Without the role of a site manager, construction sites can quickly become extremely unsafe and have the potential to cause great harm. Site managers need a detailed understanding of the fundamentals of construction sites, how to correctly create plans, and conduct necessary risk management strategies.
