Construction sites are potentially highly dangerous working environments. All workers must have a sound understanding of the importance of workplace health and safety in every aspect of what they do. This video examines the importance of workplace health and safety in construction, identifying and assessing risk, and various ways in which hazards are controlled on a construction site. It features interviews with CEO of the Master Builders Association of Victoria, Radley de Silva, and the Association's Career Manager Jarrod Flanigan, Kane Constructions Project Manager, Tim Fowler, and Chisholm Institute Carpentry and Joinery Trainer, Ian Malcolm. This is an ideal video for learners undertaking a construction-related apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship or any other pathway into the industry.
