From 1 July, SafeWork NSW is now an independent regulator. They’re using this change to boost visibility on job sites and provide more hands-on support to businesses.

This week, inspectors will focus on:

• Construction sites in the Hunter, Central Coast, Wollongong, Sydney CBD, Sutherland Shire and Western Sydney

• High-risk issues including:

  • Falls from heights

  • Mobile plant safety

  • Silica exposure

  • Mental health

It’s all part of a push to take safety more seriously and reduce harm across the industry.
