“This year’s theme, ‘safety: every job, every day’ encourages everyone to prioritise safety in their job all of the time. Safety is a shared responsibility – whether an employer, trade contractor, worker or anyone else visiting a site – it is up to everyone to identify potential problems and either take action or inform the responsible person on site.
“I encourage everyone working in the construction industry to talk about the importance of safety on site this October.
“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 this Friday 10 October.
“The Summit is a practical, one-day forum targeted at builders, contractors, site managers, safety managers, supervisors and HSE/WHS leads.
“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, to ensure that the construction sector has clear actions that can be applied on site the inaugural Summit is free for both HIA members and non-members to attend,” concluded Mr Jennion.

For the first time since 2014, WA leads the nation in home building activity—a remarkable turnaround from the mining downturn that pushed the state to the bottom of the rankings for much of the last decade.
