CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT 2
Executive summary
Inadequate occupational health and safety results into significant effects on the various
parameters of construction projects such as quality, cost, schedule as well as the
sustainability. The end results is that they lead to serious injuries which are not incorporated
into the project requirements, resulting into unplanned compensations within the project. It is
as a result of this, that the study below tends to focus on a renovation plan which was not
properly followed as per the initial requirements. Further, the renovation encompasses the
removal of asbestos, a material which needs proper handling, else it results into detrimental
health effects, not only to the workers, but also the surrounding. From the results presented,
careful work and healthy practices oriented towards occupational safety, as well as work
health and safety policy when combined will significantly play a role in ensuring the success
of the renovation process.
