Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in applying contractor safety management concepts. Learners will engage in simulated activities such as pre-qualification reviews, safety inspections, and emergency response drills, enabling them to practice skills directly transferable to their workplace.

Practical Activities

• Contractor Pre-Qualification Simulation — Learners work in groups to evaluate mock contractor safety files and make selection recommendations based on established criteria. (4h)
• Site Safety Induction & Orientation Role-Play — Learners design and deliver a mock induction presentation to 'new contractors', covering site hazards, emergency procedures, and safety rules. (4h)
• Contractor Safety Inspection & Audit Exercise — Conduct a simulated safety inspection of a construction site (using photos/videos or a mock setup), identifying hazards and non-compliances. (4h)
• Incident Investigation & Root Cause Analysis Workshop — Analyze a given incident scenario involving a contractor, using techniques like the 5 Whys or fishbone diagram to identify root causes and propose corrective actions. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
