Project Management 3IntroductionCompany ABC Pte Ltd is a solely-owned local company based in Singapore. The company has been in the construction business for more than twenty years with its most recent achievement being tasked to construct three eighteen-storey tower blocks containing residential condominiums by MNC (Australian Developer). The company is an A1 main contractor and is a household name in the local construction industry. The company is BizSafe, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 18001 certified. ABC Pte Ltd has a core staff of more than 200 employees involved in the local Singapore projects. My role in ABC Pte Ltd was to manage the Safety and Health standards in the condominiums project as a representative of MNC developers. I was tasked to propose a safe method of erection of cantilevered falsework from the edge of the building without exposing the scaffold erectors. This was the first time ABC Pte Ltd is partnering with MNC developers. Timing PlanThe timetable for the completion of the task would cover four weeks as described in the table below. The construction team was requested by MNC management to propose a safe method of erection within a month in order not to delay the project schedule.

Timing planThe execution of the task was carried out in accordance to the PDCA method: Plan, Do, Check, Act. The Deming Cycle was chosen due to its simplicity and efficiency in addressing challenges and ensuring continuous improvement throughout the task (Charantimath, 2011).
Project Management 5Fig. Deming WheelAs illustrated in the timetable, the steps taken to complete the task were as follows; observation of current erection methods, discussions and planning, proposed designs, mock-up and implementation. The first step was the demonstration and observation of the current erection sequence by the construction engineers and workers. The demonstration will provide insight into the sequence, methods, workmanship and standard of materials used in the erection of cantilevered formwork (Chandrasekaran, 2016). In this stage, I requested to be also shown the egress and safe access for the site workers and raised queries on the proposed methods of dismantling the falsework to understand the safety measures put in place by ABC Pte Ltd.The next step was discussions and planning. At this stage, the current method of erection was reviewed and discussions held on the limitations of the current sequence. Building standards and safety and health regulations were referenced to countercheck if the current methods were safe for the site workers (Defense, 2017). The contractors from ABC Pte Ltd gave their report on their current erection methods and the site workers gave their
Project Management 6input on those methods, advantages and limitations, and their recommendations. In addition, the site engineers gave their technical input on the erection methods used by the contractor.The next step was the formulation of proposals containing the ideas produced in the discussions. I reviewed the technical specifications on falsework erection in the Building Code. The information in the risk assessment forms was assesses and conclusions drawn (Smart 2014). The safe work procedure (SWP) was also finalised. Lastly, I explained the proposed safe erection method to the construction engineers, contractors and the site men. A mock-up erection method was set up and all the site personnelparticipated. I monitored the sequence to ensure that it is compliant to the safe work procedure (SWP) and the recommendations in the risk assessment (Hardin.B, 2015). Once allthe personnel understood the new erection method, the requisite documents were handed overto the engineers and the contractor. Assessing the Risk while reviewing the risk AssessmentThe construction sector is always considered to be a high risk industry with risks involvedat every juncture. The construction design and management regulations act are intended toensure the health and safety issues are properly considered during the development of aproject so that the risk produced in the industry upon the workers gets minimized. As thework progresses the risks are identified and residual risks are reduced and managed. Thesehelps in the easy assessment of the works by the people associated with the supervision of theworks. The prevention includes the likes of;1.Avoiding as much as risks that are possible to avoid2.Putting the appropriate measures that control them at the source.3.Evaluation of the exact risks that cannot be avoided by the organization
