Top Workplace Hazards in the Construction Industry
<p>Managing workplace hazards in the construction industry is a top priority every day because the working environment constantly changes. There are often many different contractors working alongside each other. It becomes more complex in multi-storey construction, where work is carried out over several levels.

In 2013-14 the industry had the 5th highest fatality rate. </p> <p>In this podcast, we discuss the top workplace hazards in the construction industry to guide your safety training themes.</p>

How Are Workplaces Dealing With Mental Health?
<p>There's a considerable focus on strategies to help workplaces dealing with mental health issues and the pandemic is placing pressure on them to do more. In the past, the focus has been on establishing that supporting the mental health of our employees is actually a workplace issue, rather than placing that in the realm of the individual's personal responsibility. Today, we are keen to learn what organisations are doing to support worker mental health, why they are doing it and their experiences of managing mental health issues in their workplace.</p> <p>For this podcast, we discuss some <a href="https://www.pc.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/250980/sub819-mental-health-attachment.pdf">research, published last year, </a>that investigates how Australian workplaces are dealing with mental health, the range of initiatives they are using and the barriers they encounter when introducing support programmes.</p>

Do OHS Professionals Act As Moral Agents?
<p>Occupational Health and Safety Professionals are required to draw on their ethics to make life-threatening decisions and act as 'moral' agents in their role. This is a particularly difficult task given they are bound by legal obligations to ensure a safe workplace and eliminate risk as far as reasonably practicable and at the same time support their company to ensure productivity and profit.</p> <p>This podcast discusses a chapter from the Body of Knowledge on <a href="https://www.ohsbok.org.au/chapter-38-3-ethics-and-professional-practice/">Ethics and Professional Practice</a>. We look at the legal obligations of the OHS professional, how they may act as a moral agent and the obstacles to ethical-decision-making. We finish with nine areas to consider when speaking up about OHS concerns to keep the discussion constructive.</p>
