2. CONSTRUCTION
It is the process of building any
infrastructure. It starts with planning,
designing, financing and continues till
the completion of the project.

4. •DESIGN TEAM
In the industrialized world, construction usually involves the
translation of designs into reality. A formal design team may be
assembled to plan the physical proceedings, and to integrate
those pro ceedings with the other parts.

5. •FINANCIAL PLANNING
Financial planning for the project is intended to ensure that a
solid plan with adequate safeguards and contingency plans are
in place before the project is started and is required to ensure
that the plan is properly executed over the life of the project.

6. •LEGAL ASPECTS
A construction project must fit into the legal framework
governing the property. These include governmental regulations
on the use of property, and obligations that are created in the
process of construction

7. •INTERACTION OF EXPERTISE
The interaction of expertise in construction projects involves the
collaboration and coordination of various professionals,
including architects, engineers, contractors, and project
managers.

8. •PROCUREMENT
Procurement describes the merging of activities undertaken by
the client to obtain a building. There are many different methods
of construction procurement; however the three most common
types of procurement are traditional (design-bid-build),
design-build and management contracting.

9. •TRADITIONAL (DESIGN-BID-BUILD
This is the most common method of construction procurement
and is well established and recognized. In this arrangement, the
architect or engineer acts as the project coordinator.

10. •DESIGN BUILD
Involves the client contracting a single entity that both provides
a design and builds it. In some cases, the design-build pack age
can also include finding the site, arranging funding and applying
for all necessary statutory consents.

11. •MANAGEMENT CONTRACTING
Management procurement systems are often used to speed up
the procurement processes, allow the client greater flexibility in
design variation throughout the contract, give the ability to
appoint individual work contractors, separate contractual
responsibility on each individual throughout the contract, and to
provide greater client control.

13. •RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION
Residential construction is the business of building and selling
individual and multi-family dewellings. The market fragments
into single-unit, manufactured, duplex, quad-plex, and
apartments and condominiums

14. •INSTITUTIONAL AND COMMERCIAL BUILDING
Institutional and commercial building construction encompasses
a great variety of project types and sizes, such as schools and
universities, medical clinics and hospitals, recreational facilities
and sports stadiums, retail chain stores and large shopping
centers, warehouses and light manu-facturing plants, and
skyscrapers for offices and hotels.

15. •SPECIALIZED INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION
Specialized industrial construction usually involves very large
scale projects with a high degree of technological complexity,
such as oil refineries, steel mills, chemical processing plants and
coal-fired or nuclear power plants.

16. •INFRASTRUCTURE AND HEAVY CONSTRUCTION
Infrastructure and heavy construction includes projects such as
highways, mass transit systems, tunnels, bridges, pipelines,
drainage systems and sewage treatment plants.

18. •WORKING AT HEIGHT
The construction of buildings or indeed, demolition works
frequently requires tradesmen to work at height.
•MOVING OBJECTS
Construction sites can get quite hectic what with the sheer
volume of constantly moving vehicles and trades people
overhead lifting equipment shifting heavy loads, supply vehicles,
dumper trucks everywhere, manoeuvring around a usually
uneven terrain.

19. •SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS
Construction sites are a mish mash of holes in the
ground, buildings at various stages of comple tion,
scaffolding, stored materials and equipment: you really
do need eyes in the back of your head at times.
•NOISE
Repetitive, excessive noise causes long term hearing
problems and can be a dangerous distraction, the
cause of accidents

20. •HAND ARM VIBRATION SYNDROME
Hand arm vibration syndrome, or 'blue finger' as it is commonly
referred to, is a painful and debil-itating industrial disease of the
blood vessels, nerves and joints, triggered by the prolonged use
of vibratory power tools and ground working equipment
•MATERIAL AND MANUAL HANDLING
Materials and equipment is being constantly lifted and moved
around on a construction site, whether manually or by the use of
lifting equipment. Different trades will involve greater demands,
but all may involve some degree of risk

21. •COLLAPSE
The risk of an unintended collapse is generally more associated
with demolition works or when a partially completed building or
scaffolding collapses, but still accounts for a percentage of
fatalities each year
•ASBESTOS
Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring, toxic minerals that can
cause serious health problems.

22. •AIRBORNE FIBRES AND MATERIALS -
RESPIRATORY DISEASES
Airborne particulate matter, which includes dust, dirt, soot,
smoke, and liquid droplets emitted into the air, is small enough
to be suspended in the atmosphere.
•ELECTRICITY
Electrical hazards on construction sites include damaged
equipment, improper grounding, and working in wet conditions
