9 MANAGEMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING PROCESSES (8 weeks) Zambia is currently experiencing a critical shortage of trained and skilled construction workers. This trend has led to an increase in shoddy construction works and importation of trained and skilled labour from other countries at a great cost to the nation. One of the seriously affected areas is the management of civil engineering construction processes. There is lack of knowledge in management of civil engineering processes to ensure that construction products are delivered on time, within the budget and to specified quality. It is against this background that the skills award course in Management of Civil Engineering Construction Processes has been developed to meet the increased demand of qualified personnel in this area.

10 EXECUTIVES AND MANAGERS COURSE IN OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH (3days) The safety of a worker is an international human right which places a direct responsibility on employers to ensure that it is adequately provided for in a company, institution or organisation. It is incumbent upon employers to ensure that their safety policy is consistent with their workers and stakeholder expectations at local and international level and that occupational safety and health practices enhance the welfare of staff, productivity and goodwill from clients. The use of green technology and assurance of sustainable development is attracting a lot of interest from international stakeholders concerned not only with productivity but the effects of industrial activity both within the work environment, local and globally. As much as appropriate OSH practices can be implemented with a bottom up approach, the top down approach has a greater part in developing policy, enforcing it and facilitating its implementation, thus providing leadership from the front and ensuring all OSH requirements are met. This course has a focus on the significance of OSH and the role of executives and managers in policy development and its implementation for their organizations in the Construction Industry. OSH is envisaged to be a standard regulatory requirement for the construction industry on consultants, contractors, government institutions and private companies. Course Objectives The objective of the course is to engage executives and managers in the design and implementation of OSH policy based on the significance of OSH in the construction industry, safety protocols and relevant stakeholders. Course Content An overview of OSH and its significance in the construction industry. Local and International Safety protocols and OSH stakeholders. OSH policy development and implementation.
