| Abstract | 1. South African Health and Safety (H&S) legislation and the Construction Regulations require wide ranging H&S interventions on the part of all stakeholders including ensuring that adequate financial allowance is made for H&S. Given the afore mentioned, a study was conducted to determine the perceptions of general contractors (GCs) and quantity surveyors (QSs) with respect to financial provision for construction H&S. A survey of literature informed the development of the survey instrument in the form of a questionnaire, which was administered among GCs and QSs. The salient findings include: H&S preliminaries should be included in Bills of Quantities, and the inclusion of thirty-nine items therein is perceived as more than important, as opposed to less than important. It is concluded that a scientific approach through the inclusion of detailed H&S Preliminaries items will: "level the playing fields" 2. engender scientific calculation of the costs related thereto, and enable clients, with the assistance of QSs, to ensure that principal contractors (PCs) have made adequate financial provision for H&S in their tenders. Recommendations include: H&S preliminaries should be included in the BoQ based on the project specific H&S specification provided by the client, and a CHSA should be appointed in the early stages of projects to assist the QS with respect to interpreting the H&S specification when compiling H&S items for the BoQ. |
