SPM-SUSS Professional Talk Series: Design for Safety 101: Understanding the Essentials for Project Management Introduction With the recent implementation of the WSH Design for Safety Regulations on 1 August 2016, the industry is progressively changing mindset. On 23 May 2019, Er. Lim Peng Hong and Ms. Sumay Tan conducted a talk to SPM members on the basic principles of Design for Safety and its effective implementation. Er. Lim Peng Hong Principles of Design for Safety (DfS) Safety and health issues occur at different phases of the life cycle of buildings, structures and infrastructure. Safety and Health risks can be avoided or reduced if careful considerations have been taken during the design phases. The DfS process seeks to eliminate or reduce the risks to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) through the use of design; thereby providing a building/structure that can be constructed, maintained, and decommissioned safely. Ms. Sumay Tan >>...continue on page 8 THE PROJECT MANAGER 01 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Our long-term vision is to have at least one or two Certified Professional Project Manager (PPM) to be working and serving on each and every major or mega “ project in Singapore and surrounding regional countries. I wish to thank all SPM members for your commitment and support toward SPM at the 23rd AGM held on 6nd August” 2019 at Singapore Recreation Club. Especially to the members who had personally attended this 23rd AGM to vote in the new Council. On behalf of the new 13th SPM Council, we thank you for your strong mandate given to us and the new Council will work very hard in the following key areas to strengthen SPM’s role on the Built Environment sector:- Membership – we will be embarking on a Membership Drive, to attract more Student members (who will be our Future leaders), Ordinary Members from all sectors including GPEs, Private Developers, Consultants, Main Contractors and Sub-Contractors alike. We believe that it is through a larger membership base that we will be able to make arrangement for better trainings, learning and sharing of knowledge and skill. SPM Accreditation Scheme – we wish to roll out in a fast pace to every practicing Project Manager. The main intention behind this scheme is to gradually elevate and improve the overall practices and skill of each and every Project Manager, and to enhance the project delivery standard in the BE Industry. Trainings – we will arrange a series of trainings via “SPM ProjectShare” series to enhance the overall skill and knowledge of all practicing Project Managers, with the aim to elevate the profession of Project Management. Contributions to ITM and the BE Industry – as a whole, SPM and its members must be able to work and contribute toward the collective ITM journey. Although many of our SPM Members have been doing this successfully in the past, somehow their efforts were not fully and properly appreciated and recognised. SPM intend to arrange and confer many such annual awards to recognise and appreciate our practicing Project Managers so as to encourage more and better Project Management work and also to attract more talents into the Project Management Profession. To enlarge & empower SPM Secretariat – to do these above, we will need to have a bigger team in the SPM Secretariat, and we need to also empower them as Professionals to assist the Council in doing all these works. Also, to upgrade their administrative and organisational skills. We intend to conduct some fund-raising activities (ie. Such as SPM Golf day, a series of good quality talks, continue with our list of current fund-raising activities such as the annual dinner, book launches, seminars, PM courses, etc) with an aim to raise funds to conduct and grow the SPM Secretariat, and eventually to own a small Secretariat office of our own. We want to take this opportunity to give an Open Invitation to all SPM Members to come in and apply to be accredited as a “Professional Project Manager (PPM)” via the SPM Accreditation scheme. We sincerely hope that all SPM Members will strongly support all the events and trainings and to elevate the Society onto greater heights.
