CIB New Issue Encouraged Journal

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers –Management, Procurement and Law

Volume 172, Issue 3, June 2019
ICE Publishing has published a new Issue of the CIB
Encouraged Journal Management, Procurement andLaw. This is a themed issue called, Enhancing on
construction safety, health and well-being.
Editorial
In this issue we have selected a number of papers thatcross a range of related challenges including theethical challenges behind wearable technologies(McAleenan et al., 2019), exploring the personalqualities of supervisors (Talabi et al., 2019), respectfor workers in the South African construction industry(Emuze and Mollo, 2019), a study of occupational
health and safety practices in Malawi (Simukonda,2019), finishing with a discussion on trust and worker
engagement (Lawani et al., 2019).
But before we discuss those issues, a word about ourbriefing note, which focusses on the Institution of Civil
Engineers’ (ICE) Health and Safety Register (Edmonds,2019). It is of particular importance that ICE leads theway on the delivery of safety, health and well-being
competence in the design and in the construction of allcivil engineering projects across the globe.

As an institution, with a membership that works inmany global locations on many projects from theprestigious to the routine, we have an opportunity andan obligation to work to the highest standards,
preventing harm in our designs and enhancing lives
and livelihoods in their delivery.
In fact, the mantra – our designs should be such thatthey can be built, used, maintained and eventuallydemolished without harm falling to those who work onthem or those who are impacted by them – is one thatshould remain close to the heart of every civilengineer. Edmonds (2019: p. 91) emphasises thispoint well in his support for ICE’s Health and Safety
Register when he says ‘The industry now expects civilengineers to be able to provide evidence of theirtraining in [health and safety]’ and this is where theHealth and Safety Register allows members todemonstrate an enhanced and clearly defined level ofcompetence, linked to the Institution’s commitment todemonstrate the achievement and maintenance of therequired professional level of health and safetyattainment.
