Ir. Dr. Wayne Lee, Principal Consultant of Leadway Consultancy (M) Sdn. Bhd., conducted a site visit to M Hill Hotel, Ipoh, as part of his duties as Principal Construction Work Designer (PCWD). The visit focused on monitoring project progress, reinforcing on-site safety measures, and ensuring full compliance with applicable regulatory and statutory requirements.
The Principal Construction Work Designer (PCWD) is a critical statutory role introduced under Malaysia’s Occupational Safety and Health (Construction Work) Regulations 2024 (CWDM 2024). The PCWD is responsible for managing design-related safety and health risks during the pre-construction phase, intending to achieve inherently safe design throughout all stages of a construction project.
This role is a specific legal designation and is distinct from an architect’s general scope of services. It requires specialised expertise in design risk management, regulatory compliance, and coordination of design activities, ensuring that foreseeable hazards are identified, eliminated, or minimised before construction work commences.
Safety and compliance are the foundation of every successful construction project. At Leadway Consultancy (M) Sdn. Bhd., we are committed to supporting our clients in delivering projects that protect stakeholders and align with recognized industry best practices. Through proactive design safety management and regular site engagement, we provide professional, reliable, and exceptional consultancy tailored to your specific needs. Whether your project is in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor, or anywhere across Malaysia, we look forward to assisting you in meeting regulatory requirements and achieving excellence.
