Barangaroo Sparks Demands for Greater Safety Measures Needed On Construction Sites

ALEXANDRIA, Australia - March 19, 2014 - PRLog -- With continuing safety concerns spreading through Sydney following the Barangaroo fire, which sparked on Thursday the 11^th of March, Work Cover officials are now auditing construction sites across Sydney. Construction is frequently ranked as one of the higher risk and more injury prone industries with three major onsite safety accidents occurring within the last 18 months.

“The reason for such safety incidents comes down to the difficulties faced by WHS managers in monitoring safety procedures onsite,” said Gianni Torta director at ISOPro. The particular challenge is further heightened by the increasing use of contractors and sub-contractors on construction projects that limits WHS managers control in ensuring correct working processes are being used.

However according to Gianni the issue with this is “not the use of subbies or contractors, rather it comes down to the mechanisms in place in monitoring safety compliance and governance within construction”.

“The biggest issue faced is in finding a solution that can create visibility across multiple sites and workers”, Gianni states. As a result of this concern, ISOPro has released a construction and OFSC compliance management solution. The solution uses a cloud based platform for all safety and auditing requirements.

“By replacing manual paperwork and out-dated Excel spread sheets with a cloud platform, management can finally gain full visibility and real time updates. This gives them a holistic view of everything occurring on site, which ensures greater safety and fewer incidents”. The question now is whether the Barangaroo fire has forced construction companies to take safety and compliance more seriously.
