BackgroundBackground
EPWP Employment opportunities and training for >1 million unemployed
in 5 years Increased labour content on government funded projects Application of appropriate labour-intensive technologies Focus on low volume roads, pipelines, stormwater drains and
urban sidewalks Perception of inferior quality, cost and productivity RAs generally only allocates LVRs to LIC&M at the exclusion of
the larger projects to minimise risk Developments in LIC technologies, labour optimisation and project
management techniques have improved significantly Now possible to integrate labour as a critical & measurable
component for the whole of the road construction sector GDPTRW best-practice guideline for formal and emerging sector to
promote sustainable job creation and empowerment in all road construction, rehabilitation and maintenance projects
Previous HVS tests on LIC sections

Legal requirements related to the employment of unskilled and semi-skilled labour;
Quality and cost of labour related to group tasks and group balancing:
Training, mentoring and incubation programmes including the current requirements

BenefitsBenefits
Optimisation of the use of labour on all projects (new construction, rehabilitation and maintenance);
Increased sustainability of job opportunities through the optimisation of labour on all projects;
Increased use of appropriate labour -intensive technologies;
Increased involvement by the formal construction sector in job creation and mentoring of emerging contractors;
Improvement in performance of the emerging sector through, training, mentoring and incubation

Sustainability of job creationSustainability of job creation
Current programmes (eg EPWP) Jobs created were temporary Skills lost
Manual encourages the creation of sustainable skills and jobs for the road sector through: Increasing the total labour input on all projects; Increasing the skills levels of emerging contractors and
labour through training, mentoring and incubation; Funding of labour-intensive programmes through the
Departmental budget rather than ad hoc special programmes;
Involving the formal construction industry in labour-intensive construction, in joint venture with the emerging contractors
