  1. SKILLS SUMMIT November 2012 Warwick Quinn

  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 cont’d • 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 cont’d • Endorsement of Individual training to meet defined standards • Develop a tiered competency framework • Provide recognition of training/education • Introduce an 3rd 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 3rd 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 – don’t 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
