Prologue

The success for construction site safety can be done by trust of everyone. Make the plan and help
together by everyone. All project managers have a duty that make safety work and also have a responsible to
staff’s safety.

Staffs must be responsible to his own action and follow the safety regulations under the concept
“NOT SAFE NOT WORK”

Unsafe act or incident should be reported to the director.

Subcontractor must make the safety work place by report the unsafe incident and co-operate with
safety officer and follow the safety regulations.

This safety manual is the basic regulations for the construction site safety work. But the regulations
will not be any mean if not followed. So staffs must have safety awareness for all time.

Before work the inexperienced work or using equipment must think, learn and ask for an advice
before work and work safely. And be reminded that always have a safety awareness at all time.
