Site engineers and clerk of works or those with a diploma/ degree in engineering who wish to work in the construction industry should also consider taking the course.

Under the Workplace Safety and Health (Construction) Regulations 2007 reg. 9 (2b), no employee without adequate health and safety training is allowed to supervise or oversee any process, or work carried out in a worksite. The training should be conducted to ensure that construction work at the site could be done safely.

Through the WSQ-Supervise Construction Work for WSH (BCSS) course, participants can learn how to interpret and explain legislations from WSH and other prerequisites related to the construction industry. During the course, participants can learn the overview of the WSH management system, preparing them for the duties that will be required of a construction supervisor. They can also understand how to conduct comprehensive inspections that follow the proper procedures of organisational inspection, including investigating incidents and reporting them.

Please note that there will be a 15 min oral interview 1 week after the class ends. The interview date is typically 1 week after the final day of the class. Candidates are required to submit a written report as instructed by the trainer. Failure to do so will result in failure of the course.
