Supervision blitz on construction sites
WorkSafe Victoria had stated that too many injuries are happening on construction sites due to poor supervision.
The director of WorkSafe’s Construction and Utilities Program, Chris Webb, said: “Whether you’re a principal contractor, site supervisor, contractor or tradesperson, everyone has a role to play in site safety. All parties must understand their safety responsibilities and those of others involved in a construction project.”
For supervisors, maintaining site safety is non-negotiable. If there’s an issue, everyone must be able to speak up before something bad happens.
The spotlight on site supervision is on now with WorkSafe inspectors visiting construction sites as part of the ongoing ‘Back to Basics’ campaign.
WorkSafe has developed a poster outlining safety responsibilities of the key players on sites. Copies of the poster can be downloaded from worksafe.vic.gov.au/construction.
