However, the term management must not be construed to apply solely to contractors, as there is a management echelon in all built environment stakeholder organisations, including client, project manager, designer, and quantity surveyor. There are numerous risks in construction, H&S included. However, the built environment is not renowned for risk management. Project managers, principal agents, and construction managers especially should adopt a formal risk management process, and as in the case of H&S hazards and risks, quantify the risks, rank, and evolve appropriate responses where required. Completeness of design facilitates construction planning for H&S. However, a brief review indicates the influence of all project stakeholders on construction H&S during the six stages of projects: project initiation and briefing; concept and feasibility; design development; tender documentation and procurement; construction documentation and management, and project close out. This mitigates having to drill holes in the soffit of reinforced concrete slabs in the case of a reinforced concrete framed structure to insert anchors to receive such rods. Such programmes focus on three streams, namely economics, management, and science and technology, all of which are required to manage the business of construction and projects, construction H&S included. Although the surface competences are important, it is core competencies that are invariably critical in a dynamic environment such as construction. There are two issues in terms of the integration of design and construction, namely the influence of design on construction H&S, and the type of procurement system. Certain procurement systems such as design-build promote the integration of design. Secondly, the obvious performance standard relative to H&S is zero accidents. Thirdly, the system is certainly prevention as opposed to appraisal or inspection. Furthermore, a documented Quality Management System (QMS) complements H&S as it, among other, documents the systems, procedures, and protocol required relative to the design, procurement, and construction processes.
