A Risk Assessment For Construction Work is a crucial document required by South African legislation, specifically under the Construction Regulations 2014 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. It must be prepared before any construction work begins and maintained throughout the project lifecycle. The document serves as a systematic evaluation of all potential hazards and risks associated with construction activities, detailing specific control measures and safety protocols. It's required for all construction projects in South Africa, regardless of size, and must be updated when new hazards are identified or work conditions change. The assessment must be conducted by competent persons with appropriate knowledge and experience in construction safety, and it forms a key part of the overall health and safety file for any construction project.
