Frequently Asked Questions
Construction safety and health focuses on preventing workplace injuries and illnesses through hazard identification, risk assessment, safe systems of work, training and effective control measures on construction sites.
SMP20 is a scaffolding safety management framework covering key procedures, responsibilities and forms used to support safe scaffolding operations, inspections and risk control.
Common scaffolding hazards include falls from height, falling objects, unstable structures, overloading and unsafe access. Proper inspection, safe design, competent workers and suitable controls reduce these risks.
Demolition safety involves managing risks such as structural collapse, falling materials, hazardous substances, dust, noise and unplanned services. A suitable risk assessment and safe work plan are essential.
Construction noise control starts with noise assessment and identifying high-risk activities. Controls may include quieter equipment, maintenance, barriers, limiting exposure and suitable hearing protection.
