“Whilst safety should be a year round part of your business, this dedicated month provides an important opportunity to take that extra moment to reflect and discuss safety in the workplace,” said Mr Croft.
“The residential construction industry has made great progress over the last two decades in managing safety. While any workplace incident is one too many, it is encouraging that workplace safety incidents are continuing to trend downwards.
“This year’s theme is ‘safety: every job, every day’ which is a simple message about prioritizing safety on all job sites all of the time. Safety is a shared responsibility – whether an employer, trade contractor, worker or anyone else visiting a site – it’s up to everyone to identify potential problems and either take action or inform the responsible person on site.
“We are encouraging everyone working in the construction industry to talk about the importance of safety on site throughout the month-long safety campaign and encourage them to share any ideas or activities they have for the month. It’s a great opportunity to think about how your business will promote safety and also think about how the risks from physical and psychosocial hazards are being managed.
“A cornerstone of HIA’s commitment to National Safe Work Month is the launch of our inaugural national Safety Summit, which will be held in Newcastle.
“The Summit will feature a range of speakers from government, regulators and industry to help attendees gain a greater understanding of their safety obligations and to walk away with strategies to make compliance easier and worksites safer.
“Safer workplaces start with good conversations, so we are committed to making the Summit a key feature of every October to keep the industry talking.
“HIA is wishing all in the residential building industry a safe and constructive National Safe Work Month and encourage everyone to think about what their contribution will be, whether this month or the next year ahead,” concluded Mr Croft.
