With the harmonisation of OHS laws in full swing, is The Safety Show Sydney is highlighting safety benefits for construction industry firms.
One advance in work health safety (WHS) relates to contractor management, a complex field because many variables impact on organisation and contractor obligations. As a result, organisations commonly don’t feel they have adequate knowledge to evaluate contractors’ WHS capabilities.
Prequalification online
In response, Noel Arnold & Associates developed Cm3, an online system that provides an independent and robust WHS prequalification process and enables the selection of a broad range of WHS prequalified contractors, review and verification of the currency of contractor insurances, trade licenses and other relevant documents, and classification of the WHS risk level of contracted work.
Another is online OHS compliance training, which can be found at the Savve-E stand. An innovative compliance-training suite provides courses designed for both office and inthe-field working environments.
Compliance training
Managers can have highly effective OHS and other key compliance training out to employees within days, with courses tailored to the organisation’s needs. Additional courses suited to the organisation can be created using the Savv-e Express award winning tool and delivered using a flexible e-learning management system.
Manual handling operations can be performed faster, more accurately, and with a greater degree of safety by using industrial manipulators. Manipulators use pneumatics to counterbalance weight, often in situations that require awkward or heavy objects.
Common uses are palletising and de-palletising, and lifting and positioning bags or cartons.
At the Dalmec stand, will be demonstrated the Posivel wire rope manipulator and the Partner manipulator model that features double articulated arms and a variety of tools for applications up to 900kg.
Other products and services include legislation advisory organisations, health and safety management software, risk management tools, security and communication equipment, health and safety consultants, insurance products, medical and rehabilitation services, first aid, ergonomics and office safety, vehicle safety, hygiene services and equipment.
