The Pre Construction Risk Assessment is a mandatory document required by South African legislation, specifically under the Construction Regulations 2014 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. It must be completed before any construction work begins and serves as a fundamental tool for identifying potential hazards, assessing associated risks, and establishing necessary control measures. The document is particularly crucial as it forms part of the health and safety specifications that clients must provide to contractors, and it helps ensure compliance with legal requirements while protecting worker safety. It's required for all construction projects in South Africa, regardless of size, and must be regularly reviewed and updated throughout the project lifecycle. The assessment requires input from various stakeholders and must be conducted by competent persons with appropriate knowledge and experience in construction safety.
