Every year, Safe Work Australia selects a theme to spotlight during National Safe Work Month (NSWM). This year’s focus, “Safety is Everyone’s Business,” resonates across all industries but is especially pertinent to the construction sector.
The Challenge of Managing WHS Risks Onsite
In 2022, data published by Safe Work Australia revealed that construction had the third highest fatality rate at 14%. As the industry confronts these alarming statistics, more organisations are reviewing their existing safety processes and seeking innovative technological solutions to further mitigate risks and enhance workplace safety.
From the moment you step foot on a construction site, there are any number of hazards present, from heavy machinery and electrical outputs to hazardous chemicals. Given this environment, it can be incredibly difficult to manage risks as they appear, particularly with the sheer number of workers present on the worksite.
As technology is utilised more in day-to-day operations, identifying and documenting hazards will becomes infinitely easier.
