Safety crackdown in the NSW construction industry

SafeWork has recently announced it will be heavily enforcing safer practices in the Sydney Construction Industry. Following a number of serious work related injuries occurring in the first half of this year, SafeWork promises to crackdown on construction sites and will be sending inspectors to check each one across the city.

This news and the unfortunate circumstances in which it is necessary, have no doubt put a number of construction companies and employers at unease. Stockdale always ensure our workers are completely qualified, have the appropriate skills and have enough experience to carry out the job safely. We check their past work history before they are placed, and continue to gather feedback from their employers as they fill various jobs, ensuring we only provide high quality workers.

Construction work can be hazardous, so we are pleased to hear SafeWork will be closely monitoring sites around Sydney to prevent further accidents occurring. Read more about this breaking news on Inside Construction and Safety Culture.
