CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AWARD FOR 2014

PCERF’S 2^nd CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AWARD FOR YEAR  2014

On the Eve of  CONSTRO 2014 – International Fair

Introduction:

PCERF has been in the forefront of leading the developments in the Construction Industry.  Constro has been its foremost activity in this regards. As an effort leading to Constro’14 in February 2014, a variety of activities are being conducted. These include a series of symposiums on various aspects of the construction, to highlight the trends of the future. Safety is one such effort and yearlong programmes are conducted by PCERF Construction Safety Forum for the awareness. To enhance Safety awareness and foster a much needed safety culture in the Indian Construction Sector PCERF-Constro’14 plans to have a further series of seminars and live demonstrations on Safety at the time of the exhibition and towards this objective is declaring a biannual ‘Construction Safety Award’.

We do appreciate few notable improvements in the past years but there is a need for all to team up and remain alert to the changing need and consider Safety in all aspects of projects. The Award provides a perfect avenue to engage different layers from this sector including contractors, site management and frontline workers in promoting safety and health. We are introducing the award with below mentioned categories and will add on more categories in the coming years.
