Document background
The Health And Safety Policy For Building Contractors serves as a critical document for construction companies operating in Nigeria, establishing mandatory safety protocols and compliance requirements. It is essential for any contractor engaging in construction activities within Nigerian jurisdiction, addressing the specific challenges and regulatory requirements of the local construction industry. The policy incorporates requirements from key Nigerian legislation including the Labour, Safety, Health and Welfare Bill, National Building Code, and Environmental Protection regulations. It outlines specific procedures for risk assessment, accident prevention, emergency response, and safety training, while also defining clear responsibilities for all parties involved in construction activities. This document is particularly important given Nigeria's expanding construction sector and the increasing focus on workplace safety standards in the industry.
