AUSTRALIA to help manage personal health and wellbeing , such as the Mates in Construction suicide prevention program , a not for profit organization aimed at reducing suicide and improving mental health and wellbeing within the Australian construction community .
Other safety tools recognised and used for this project have included minimum standards that tie in with the team ’ s safety essentials toolkit , monthly safety campaigns that target key areas of risk and hazard assessment cards that record daily hazard checks .
“ Safety is of high priority and we measure the effectiveness of our toolkits / training and communication through specific KPI ’ s and total reportable frequency rates ,” said Kerpiniotis . “ One of the key elements of managing the safety and wellbeing of our workforce was to introduce a drug and alcohol policy across the site . We are one of the first contractors in South Australia to implement a random drug and alcohol policy .”
Construction Innovation : Western Riser It ’ s no surprise that the biggest build in South Australia would also play host to several construction and manufacturing innovations .
For example , the western riser was fabricated offsite and brought to the construction site in modules , the heaviest of which were 6,500Kg . It consisted of a primary steel support frame with multiple engineering services hanging inside the frame . The riser was designed for structural adequacy including thermal and seismic , engineering services compliance including fire rating and accessibility for future maintenance .
All design disciplines worked together seamlessly with use of BIM — Building Information Modeling , a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its lifecycle . Having a virtual understanding of the riser at design phase made agreeing on the size and the design of the modulations easy . When the modules were delivered , the pieces fit together perfectly .
