Abstract
The introduction of professional construction H&S agents (CHSAs’) in 2013 to the built environment professional (BEP) team are now practicing in the construction H&S space. The CHSAs’ have specific contributions and actions that dovetail into the construction life cycle. The CHSA activities on projects are managed by clients, but more so by BEPs on projects. Despite the statutory requirements that govern the role of the CHSAs’, a number of issues relate to the practice of the CHSA at professional and candidate levels on construction projects.
Research conducted among CHSAs’ indicate BEPs’ lack of H&S knowledge; tenders are given to non-professional CHS categories of registered persons. Collectively the findings indicate very high risks to projects, clients, and the public at large. The CHSAs’ are further deemed to be at risk from the lack of support by the DoL and clients and in their professional capacity.
