Imbibe Safety Best Practice: LASG Tells Construction Companies, Artisans by Lanrelagboi: 3:56am On Dec 09, 2022
The Lagos State State Government has decried the quantum of loss lives and properties at construction sites.

The Director General, Lagos State Safety Commission, Mr. Lanre Mojola said this at the opening ceremony of a one-day training on Safety, Health and Hygiene for Artisans in Lagos State, tagged : 'Safety Compliance at Construction sites'.

Mojola declared that the training was organised to enlightened company owners and artisans to take responsibility for safety of their employees seriously and ensure that they are adequately insured.

He said the training is in line with the mandate of the Commission to ensure people are trained on safety best practice, precautionary measures and rule of engagements.

He said "The training is devoted to construction sector, we picked Artisans across different associations, from welders, bricklayers and electricians on how they can ensure safety of lives while on sites and be informed about Insurance schemes."

''There are several types of insurance that will be appropriate, for them, there is Employers' Liability Insurance, Insurance of Public Buildings and Insurance of Building under construction, depending on the type of contractor or the contract."

"The whole message is that they need to ensure that whatever job they are engaged in, they must ensure they are insured, in case of eventuality, they will have something substantial to fall back on.


According to him, "The International Labor Organisation (ILO) said 30 to 40 percent of incidents and accidents at work places are construction related;
and about 2.3 million accidents occurred every year, out of which about 6,300 are fatal and as such, we want accidents at Construction sites reduce to the bearest minimum.


He implore participants to always make use of the Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) at their various construction sites to reduce hazards.

He said: "We are preaching the message of PPE so as to reverse the practice of ignoring the use of this protective equipment.

He disclosed that the Government would continue to do it's part by supporting the industry and enact policies that will keep them safe and fit as they contribute to the GDP of the State.


In his presentation, on the topic; Essentials of Construction Safety, the Director of Strategy, Safety Advocates, Engr. Jamiu Badmus in his lecture took the participants through causes of hazards at the construction sites and the need to imbibe safety culture to prevent accidents, adding that life has no duplicate, the man you see when you look into your mirror is responsible for your safety, we should all work together and support the government in this, he said.

Safety should be taken seriously and be compulsorily included in all training for artisans. The role of safety engineers and professionals should be emphasized, safety regulatory departments must be significantly empowered while orientation should be way beyond this one-day social gathering you call training, if the government is actually serious.

Lagos center of excellence. But one man should not claim the credit of Lagos' excellence. There was Jakande (education), Marwa (security), Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode, Mobolaji Johnson, Raji Rasaki all fathers of modern Lagos.

Lagos state has less than 10% safety compliance.

A walk through the ever busy Ikeja, saw some work men standing on scaffold without safety harness, constructing on a high tower Dangote building @ 6th floor, my heart almost jumped out.
Those guys are super human…


More also the so called Association of construction Engineers seems handicapped as repeated collapsing buildings are of the increase’


Besides, the guy above me here is a Lunatic

I hope the participants attended the training for the sake of being trained, and not to earn themselves a certificate to add to their numerous list of certificates and enhance their qualification.

PPE is great, but having an insurance backup in the case of an eventuality will save them whenever they become victims of such "accidents".

Nice one!

Ok. We the construction companies have heard.
Can Lagos state stop their thugs in their Agencies from harassing and intimidating site workers?
This is too much and noone is saying anything about it. Lagos Safety commission, Lagos Building control, Lagos Physical planning, Lagos Materials and Testing Lab, and a host of others including Local Governments are into that.
What surprises us is that they are not after quality control or compliance AT ALL. Just payment and all is okay. Payment Payment and Payment.
It is evil and wickedness to put those crucial agencies under TARGET as if there are Bank Marketers
