The builder is responsible for the health and safety of any person who may be affected by the building work on the site and is therefore responsible for the erection of fencing where required.

Principal contractors play an important role in ensuring the orderly conduct of construction work. The principal contractor needs to implement and maintain safe housekeeping practices, including:

The builder should provide hygienic and weatherproof meal and shelter facilities in an area accessible to the building under construction at the earliest opportunity such as in the garage or similar covered area.

The builder, contractors and workers should consult with each other to determine the type and extent of any additional amenities to be provided on a particular site.

Any voting recommendations set forth in the descriptions of the resolutions and management proposals included in this database are made by the sponsors of those resolutions and proposals, and do not represent the views of the PRI.

If the usual supervisor knows they will be uncontactable for a short period arrangements should be made with key site personnel to effectively delegate urgent decision making responsibility and supervisory responsibilities pending the supervisor's return to availability.

If there are multiple licensed builders for the building work, and the building work is not exempt from needing a building approval, then the details of each builder are required to be on the sign.

The builder's own workers need supervision. So do the builder's contractors and their workers. Even though the contractor will also have responsibility for their workers, these are also the builder's workers. Visitors to a site also need supervision.

The purpose of the sign is to provide information about what building work is happening, or proposed for the site, and the licensed people who will be doing the work.

Where a mains water supply connection is not possible, drinking water may be provided using flasks, labelled water containers, water bags or similar. However, mains water supply should be provided at the earliest possible time.

For particular types of development the sign must be erected for seven consecutive days in a two month period before applying for a commencement notice. The types of development that require the sign to be erected before applying for a commencement notice are large garages, single dwellings, including alterations, and demolition of single dwellings.

Builders must provide the degree of supervision necessary for work on their sites to be carried out safely and without risks to health. The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 requires builders, and other employers, to provide information, training, instruction or supervision that is necessary to protect their workers from health and safety risks arising from their work.

The builder's contractors also have a duty to provide the necessary degree of supervision to their workers to enable them to perform their work in a manner that is safe and without risks to health.

At the initial stages of construction, but only until an adequate area can be made available, shelter may be provided in the form of contractors' vehicles.

When a risk assessment identifies the need to isolate particular site hazards and the only way of achieving this is with perimeter fencing, the installation of a fence, either permanent or temporary, which is maintained until the work activity on the site no longer presents a risk to unauthorised entrants, will assist the builder in meeting their duty of care obligation. An unauthorised person is more likely to comply with a physical barrier such as a fence than a warning sign.

Unauthorised visitors, including children, may not be deterred by warning signs, have no awareness of the dangers that may be present on a residential building site and have no idea of the risks that they may be exposed to once they have entered a site. These risks can include serious injury from falls from partially constructed and scaffolding, electric shock from live cables, drowning in open excavations, suffocation or crushing from collapsing material, coming into contact with hazardous substances, protruding objects or falling onto protruding reinforcement bars.

In case of emergency, builders must ensure signs are clearly visible from outside the site, stating the names and contact telephone numbers of the person with control of the building work.

Where female workers are present on site, appropriate measures for sanitary item disposal should be made, such as a disposal unit provided in the portable toilet or sewer connected toilet closet.

Workers must have access to conveniently located toilet facilities. Where the toilet is not connected to the sewerage system, self contained fresh water flushing portable toilets should be provided that are regularly serviced in accordance with the supplier's information and instructions, but not less than monthly.

The sign is separate to any development application process if required. If a development application was required then a separate development application sign would have been placed on the block. The development application process is an opportunity for the community to comment on the proposed development.

Between site visits, supervisors can continue to exercise timely supervision by phone, email, and/or two-way radio communication.

Whilst the supervisor's physical presence on site is the optimum way of ensuring timely supervision, full-time on site supervision may not always be necessary.

Contracts - State in the contract that each trade is responsible for cleaning up after themselves and that penalties might apply if they don't.

Where uncontrolled hazards are present on a site, there is a requirement that exposure to those hazards be addressed. Where this does not occur, it is expected that persons will not be exposed to those hazards. This information page seeks to assist builders by explaining how a builder can ensure that entry to a site where uncontrolled hazards are present is restricted so that workers and members of the public are not exposed to hazards on a construction site.

Safety plans - Ensure the site layout supports good housekeeping such as designated delivery and storage areas, waste management, walkways and vehicle parking.

You can choose to use either template or make your own. You may want to include only the Building Act 2004 requirements on the sign. If so use template A. This still means you need to meet the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 requirements (if applicable) on another sign.

Site supervision means the general direction, coordination and oversight of the on site work processes. In particular, supervision on housing construction sites involves:

Ideally, all hazards and risks should be eliminated on the site, but this is not always achievable. Fencing can be an effective way of restricting unauthorised entry to a construction site when hazards are present.

If you produce your own sign you must ensure that it covers all the legislative requirements which are listed in of the Building (General) Regulation 2008.

In order to comply with work health and safety laws, the amenities provided by the builder must be adequate, accessible and timely.

In order to comply with work health and safety law, the supervision provided by the builder must be effective, meaning that it should be clearly delegated, competent and timely.

Sheets of reinforcing mesh should not be used for site fencing as it allows adequate hand and foot hold for children to climb over and the protruding ends of sheets could result in penetrating injuries.

These requirements are put in-place by the Building Act 2004 but the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 also requires signage on building sites.

Hand washing facilities within or adjacent to each toilet or urinal should be provided. Clean water and soap should be provided for the purposes of washing.

Constructioncompany

A person conducting a business or undertaking needs to ensure that members of the public are not exposed to risk arising from the construction site. Unauthorised entry to construction sites may expose a person to a number of hazards that, if not controlled, could result in the likelihood of fatalities or serious injuries.

The Managing the Work Environment and Facilities Code of Practice sets out a range of measures on how to provide and maintain a physical work environment that is without risks to health and safety.

Builders must provide, or have access to, adequate amenities for construction sites to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their workers and others using their sites.

Safety supervisor training courses are conducted through the Housing Industry Association, Master Builders Associations and other organisations.

Every week, construction workers are injured seriously enough to stop work because basic site safety and housekeeping is not up to scratch. These injuries might not be life threatening, but they are painful, costly, and the effects can be permanent, making it difficult to work in the future. They'll hurt their back or neck, tear a ligament, cut themselves or break a bone.

The builder's workers need amenities. So do the builder's contractors and their workers. Visitors to site also need access to amenities.

Site rules - Before work starts, develop site rules that include housekeeping responsibilities, and make sure everyone on site knows them.

Poor supervision, and particularly poor housekeeping, is often to blame. Workers might cut open a leg on an off cut, trip over building rubble or strain a knee stepping backwards off a plank. Construction sites present serious difficulties. Only the most rigorous supervision and the cooperation of all workers can keep the site free from tools, bolts, planks, (including upturned nails) and other objects likely to cause serious accidents.

Amenities are those facilities provided for a construction site to provide for the health, safety and welfare of persons working on that site and include:
