“The construction industry has made significant strides over the last two decades in managing safety on site and workplace safety incidents are continuing to trend downwards,” said Simon Croft, HIA Chief Executive Industry & Policy.
“October is National Safe Work Month, and whilst safety should always be front of mind, it provides an important opportunity either as a reminder, or just a good reason to take time to reflect and discuss safety on site.
“HIA will be undertaking a range of activities throughout October to support the residential building industry including safety videos, sharing our extensive safety information resources and tools, to help the industry keep sites and workers safe.
“Workplace health and safety rules that builders and tradies need to navigate, are getting more and more complex, and extending beyond just physical hazards to cover physiological hazards and risks.
“Therefore, it is essential that the building industry continue to take steps to manage risks, keep workplaces and workers on site safe and healthy as well as understanding their safety obligations.
“HIA encourages everyone walking on site to think about safety as a shared responsibility – if you see something like a scaffold plank been moved or a piece of timber that may create a potential trip hazard – don’t walk by it help to remedy or get assistance in doing so,” concluded Mr Croft.
