Health and Safety
Following the tragic deaths of two building workers on the Gold Coast, Workplace Health and Safety Queensland announced a review of all sites using swing-stage scaffolding. For a copy of the media release click here. This unfortunate incident may also have flow-on effects to other safety areas in the building industry and increase the interest of the building unions in site inspections. To understand your rights and responsibilities around union access to your sites click here. Of course Workplace Health and Safety Queensland inspectors have the right to enter your sites at any time.

 

WorkCover - End of Financial Year Obligations
WorkCover Premium Notices will be sent to employers in early July, so it is a good time to get your WorkCover affairs in order. Click here to review the critical dates for WorkCover returns and payment options.

 

Do you have a current WorkCover policy?
If you have even the most remote possibility of engaging someone to help you in your business as an employee or a sole trader contractor, HIA would urge you to obtain a WorkCover minimum premium policy. This policy will cover anyone who WorkCover might determine to be a “worker” who might make a claim against your business for an injury. For a couple of hundred dollars it is an essential business risk management tool. Call WorkCover on 1300 362 128 to arrange a policy.
