Discover fresh perspectives on strengthening project coordination and on‑site practices across the region by drawing on proven frameworks used internationally.

This session highlights practical ways to enhance safety standards, improve planning processes and support more resilient project delivery in diverse West African environments.

You’ll learn:

  • how to tailor construction design and management (CDM) to local challenges such as tropical climates, flooding and informal labour structures
  • practical approaches including localised risk assessments, indigenous knowledge and training in local languages
  • affordable innovations like drones for site monitoring and mobile tools for real‑time hazard reporting
  • insights into key challenges and the benefits of improved safety, productivity and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

This is a great opportunity to understand how CDM can support safer and more efficient construction across West Africa.

This free event is open to IOSH members and non-members.
