5.2 Workplace Health and Safety
5.3 Industrial Relations
Workforce management will ensure workplace health and safety; industrial relations, training and skill development are integrated with the organisational procedures, practices and performance standards of the organisation.
Effective workforce management at all levels of the construction industry is a key contributor to achieving the Key Priorities and Objectives. The Queensland Government is committed to continuous improvement by ensuring service providers achieve an effective workforce-management focus at the enterprise and project levels, and in the industry generally.
Workforce management requires service providers to:
- create and maintain a safe working environment;
- integrate training and skill development into project management; and
- support cooperative and productive industrial relations, including compliance with awards and/or agreements and legislation.
These objectives centre on industry participants adopting a broad-based agenda to improve productivity through:
- effective communication;
- teamwork;
- high standards in workplace health and safety;
- training and skill development;
- effective workplace practices;
- promotion of access, equity and equal employment opportunity; and
- continuous improvement and best practice.
