The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure :
The information that I have received from the SACPCMP in response to the question is as follows:
(1) (a) (i) The number of construction health and safety officers who failed examinations is 299 out of 585.
(ii) The number of construction health and safety managers who failed examinations is 61 out of 92
(iii) The number of construction health and safety agents who failed interviews is 6 out of 12
(iv) refer to (iii) above
(b) 32 failed more than once.
(2) The examination/interview tests the competence in the application of the scope of services and regulations that govern the Construction, Health and Safety Professions. It is an expectation therefore that candidates must be conversant with these.
