New Standards & WHS Obligations for Construction
NSW Construction Site Safety Guide 2021/22
Pro-Visual Publishing and their partnering industry associations announce the launch of their free annual site safety guide for the NSW construction industry, an initiative aimed at increasing safety awareness and reinforcing a positive safety culture and best practice in the building and construction industry.
The AR interactive guide covers vital safety information to assist industry businesses to meet their WHS obligations and duty of care. Topics covered include guidelines on the new international standard for OH&S Performance Evaluation, safety around tower crane stowing, management of falls from height and
considerations when working with young people.
The Guide will be in it’s sixth year as an AR interactive piece, giving users the ability to access additional resources to supplement the written text topics by downloading the free Pro-Vis AR app and scanning the icons on the Guide. This helps make the learning of key safety issues far more engaging and the wall guide becomes a useful go-to piece for solo reference, or for training and toolbox talks with your team.
With guides also available for other states, this series aims to educate on potential hazards and safer work procedures with a focus on creating a culture of Zero Harm and helping to make sure everyone arrives home safe from work, every day.

Topics include:
• Responsibilities for non-conforming building products and responsibility to report serious safety incidents, with guidance and directives from the QBCC.
• Exposure to asbestos and respirable crystalline silica, as new national exposure standards are in effect.
