Refreshers Workshop for Trained Masons

24 - 26 November 2002

A two day refreshers workshop of trained masons on "Earthquake Resistant Construction of Buildings" was organized on 14 - 15 September 2006, at the conference hall of Lalitpur Sub-metropolitan City, Pulchowk, Lalitpur. The program was jointly organized by the Lalitpur Sub-metropolitan City (LSMC) and National Society for Earthquake Technology (NSET) with the support from JICA. Altogether 52 masons of Lalitpur districts who were trained on earthquake resistant construction technology during past training programs attended the workshop. It was regarded as follow-up of the past training programs that were jointly organized by NSET, DUDBC, LSMC and other partnering Institutions. The objectives of the workshop were to assist the masons in promoting safer building construction practices, refresh their skill and enhance capacity, share experiences and challenges faced in the field by them, find out proper ways to convince the house owners about earthquake safety and make them clear about the additional cost of construction that could occur for earthquake resistant building. In a whole the program was able to refresh the technical and motivation skills of the masons.
