2. Topics Today What is the Construction Safety Council? CSC Strategic Plan Current Initiatives Competency framework

3. What is the CSC? Key construction industry organisations met to discuss a more collaborative H&S approach CSC has representatives from commercial & residential construction, civil and specialist trades Council has members from Registered Master Builders, Certified Builders, Roading NZ, Specialist Trades, NZ Contractors Federation.

4. Framework Key Themes Settled on 3 key themes: Certainty (regulatory) Clarity Reality Each with its own goal and objectives

5. Themes 1: Certainty Goal: Influence Government to provide a greater level of certainty around the collective and individual H&S responsibilities on the construction site Visibility: - Analyse data to determine common H&S risks Awareness: - Pro-actively inform industry of consequences Fairness: - Eliminate non-compliant behaviour

6. Theme 2: Clarity Goal: Creating an industry led unified definition of all practicable steps that has meaning for construction workers Comprehensiveness: - Research current best practice to mitigate risks Up-to-date: -Create/maintain guidance materials Practicality:-Test ease of understanding with construction workers

7. Theme 3: Reality Goal: Ensuring the construction industry attains tangible business benefits from H&S Consistency:- Endorse individual training that meets agreed standards Coverage:- Widely disseminate H&S information to change behaviour Affordability:-Reward compliant H&S systems

8. Framework System

9. Today – Tomorrow

10. Strategic Plan contd Vision – H&S is worth the effort (3 Goals –Certainty, Clarity, Reality) Measure – Increase in industry productivity by working safely (but have included some more specific ones) Best in World – Making H&S an integral part of working on a construction site (9 Processes) Passion – Collaborating as one industry to make our construction sites safer (Projects)

11. Unifying Directions

12. Strategy on one page

13. First Year Projects Analyse data to determine H&S risks Develop benchmarks for performance Joined up information (ACC/DoL/Sector) Provide greater insights Eliminate non-compliant behaviour Partnership with DoL Clearer roles and responsibilities Better sector communication

14. First Year Projects contd Endorsement of Individual training to meet defined standards Develop a tiered competency framework Provide recognition of training/education Introduce an 3 rd party accreditation system allowing for multi-site endorsement Reward Compliant H&S Systems Understand Government procurement attitude toward H&S

15. Competency Framework Step 1 Develop a tiered competency framework Step 2 Provide recognition of training/education Step 3 Introduce an 3 rd party accreditation system allowing for multi-site endorsement

16. Tiered Competencies Tier 1 – Focused on new entrants or those with limited experience to ensure they have a base level of H&S knowledge that is applicable to all construction sites Tier 2 – is trade specific H&S training Tier 3 – is designed for anyone who is responsible for someone else Tier 4 – is designed for the site manager

17. STEP 1 – Tiered competencies

18. Tier 1 Competency Classes CSC has developed 6 generic competency classes – Communicate hazards – Work safely with other on site – Respond to a safety emergency – Identify and respond to hazards – Use safety equipment including personal protective equipment – Use tools and equipment safely

19. Hazard Categories CSC developed 12 hazard categories: – Confined spaces Manual handling – Electrical safety Mobile plant – Environmental People – Evacuation Utilities – Falls – General – Hand tools – Hazardous substances

20. Hazard Framework

21. Stage 2 – Recognition of Training Important to ensure consistency of training Transparent – all training covers content Confidence across sector all Tier 1 competent Allows for movement between construction sites Does not substitute for site specific training Completely voluntary – dont speak for employers

22. Stage 2 – Training Recognition

23. Stage 3 – Accreditation/Renewal Allows for recognition of working within a quality H&S environment Ongoing training awareness of cpd After 2 year period renewal automatic Otherwise need to retrain Efficient and effective More affordable
