About the Podcast
This podcast episode examines the occupational health and safety risks encountered in construction activities carried out by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and explains how these risks should be managed through the risk assessment process. Due to limited resources and multi-tasking structures in SMEs, accurate risk analysis is critical to preventing accidents.
The content is developed based on the Construction Risk Assessment Guide for SMEs, with the methods, examples, and regulatory information presented in a clear, accessible, and practical manner suitable for on-site implementation. The podcast particularly aims to establish an effective OHS culture on small-scale construction sites.
