Regardless of the size of your business or project, all employers are required to provide a safe working environment for their workers. The constantly changing nature of construction work distinguishes it from other types of work. Hazards and risks need to be assessed on a daily basis and the management of risks is complicated by the:

• Staggered commencement and completion.
• The various stages of a construction project.
• High turnover of contractors, sub contractors and tradesmen on site.
• Tight deadlines and budget constraints.

Numerous heath and safety requirements apply to the industry including, but not limited to the following:

• General duties to provide a safe working environment
• Consulting with workers and their OH&S representatives as well as any independent contractors and their workers
• Resolving OH&S issues
• Dealing with hazards such as manual handling, noise, falls, confined spaces, hazardous substances, asbestos and lead
• Licensing and registrations
• Notification of serious injuries and incidents

Regular auditing of your sites can improve the level of awareness of OH&S amongst your workers as well as providing peace of mind that you are complying with all OH&S requirements. Our audits can also help to eradicate any negative attitudes from seasoned workers who mistakenly believe that they are bullet proof.

We recognise that our clients have individual needs that are many and varied and we have a range of services that can be tailored to suit your specific needs.
