The Summit coincides with National Safe Work Month and will provide a practical, one-day forum for builders, contractors, site managers, supervisors, and safety professionals to exchange ideas and develop strategies that make compliance easier and worksites safer.
“The Summit reflects HIA’s continued commitment to improving safety outcomes across the construction industry,” HIA Chief Executive, Industry and Policy, Simon Croft said today.
“Creating a culture where safety is part of every decision and every site is essential to the professionalism of our industry.
“This Summit is also about ensuring safety remains at the core of how we work, not just during Safe Work Month, but every day.
“The best outcomes are when industry and regulators collaborate. By sharing practical tools and real-world experiences, we can make it simpler for builders and trades to meet their obligations and keep people safe on site.
“Today’s event is an opportunity to discuss new approaches to risk management, highlight regulatory updates, and showcase examples of safety leadership from across the industry.
“Everyone deserves to go home safely at the end of the day. The Summit will help our industry continue to raise the bar and ensure safety remains a shared responsibility on every project,” concluded Mr Croft.
