WorkSafe invites your comment on the proposed Guide to Health and Safety in Government Construction Procurement.
This guide has been developed for the purpose of providing practical guidance to persons who have duties in relation to procurement of building and construction projects to meet their obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004. The Health and safety in government construction procurement guide outlines how best practice can be achieved and strengthen government’s capability to lead and influence OHS outcomes for the building and construction industry. It provides practical guidance and tools for integrating safety into existing organisational budgetary and procurement processes. It is intended for use by practitioners in state government, local government, statutory authorities and other agencies who procure, commission, manage and maintain government building and construction projects.
The guide includes health and safety advice and practical tools for each phase of the procurement lifecycle, including:
1. Planning
2. Design
3. Tender and tender evaluation
4. Contract negotiation and execution
5. Construction
6. Transition and Evaluation
