BACKGROUND In many instances Interior fit-out projects are carried out by small and
medium-sized firms which may not have sufficient resources to
develop a comprehensive Safety Management Plan for every specific
project. BEAM seeks to reduce the injuries from construction
activities associated with fit-out work by encouraging renovation firms
to develop and implement a safely culture through implementing a
Safety Management Plan using the resources available from the
public domain. Various resources quoted from the Authorities are
extracted [ , , ].
