Overview

The Safety and Health Assessment System in Construction (SHASSIC) is a standardized tool introduced by CIDB Malaysia to assess and enhance safety and health performance at construction sites. It aims to promote a safety-conscious culture, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and minimize workplace accidents.

The SHASSIC assessment is carried out through three primary components: documentation review, workplace inspection, and employee interviews. Documentation review examines safety policies, procedures, and records to ensure compliance with legal standards, such as OSHA 1994 and FMA 1967. Workplace inspection focuses on physical site conditions, including equipment, scaffolding, and worker safety practices, identifying hazards and assessing risk management measures. Employee interviews gather feedback from workers and personnel on safety awareness and training effectiveness.

The system benefits construction companies by fostering safer working environments, enhancing productivity, reducing accident risks, and improving project credibility. SHASSIC serves as both a benchmark and a guide for ongoing safety improvements, ensuring sustainable, compliant, and efficient operations in the construction industry.

It is to be hosted by the Professional Development Team of the ICE Malaysia Graduate Network. The format of this session will consist of 5 minutes of introductory session to the ICE Malaysia Graduate Network and the event objectives, followed by a 20-minute technical lecture from the invited speaker. At the end of the technical lecture, attendees will be split into separate breakout groups for a 25-minute discussion on takeaways from the technical lecture, response formats for the communication task, and the communication format's target audiences. The session will be concluded after 10-minute group feedback that the invited speaker provides.
