Work Health and Safety in the Western Australian Building and Construction Industry - Attitudes, Incidents and a Training Gap Analysis

The aim of the project is to:

1. Conduct an environmental scan of the WHS landscape for the construction industry, including prevalence of incidents, attitudes to safety and awareness of the typical risks including psychosocial risks.

Reference No: CTF-RES-2024-002 Page 5 of 24 Finance v01072024

2. Identify what WHS training is available for construction workers and employers, what and how much training and services are being accessed/utilised, and subsequently what the gaps are.

From the research it is expected that a final report to the CTF will include a scan of the WHS landscape in the Western Australian Building and Construction Industry, including attitudes and awareness of safety, the common risks, and the prevalence of incidents (including psychosocial).
