Construction x Mining
1. Why do you think there are more incidents in
construction than mining?
2. What are the main differences between construction
and mining?
3. What can we do to improve the situation for
construction?

What sets construction apart from mining?
• Safety culture not as well established as in mining
– ‘green’ workforce
– subcontracting
– fast and furious (‘job and knock’) attitude
• Lots of workers and machines concentrated in small area
• Specific Australian Standards and licences/training
– White card, High Risk Work licences
– Demolition, electrical, tilt-up Australian Standards
• Dangerous processes (High Risk Construction Work)
– Tilt-up and precast
– Scaffold
– EWPs

What do you need to know about high risk work?
• It is any work within the scope of a high risk licence (based on
National Standard), including:
– scaffolding (basic, intermediate, advanced)
– rigging work (dogging; basic, intermediate, advanced rigging)
– forklift operations
– crane and hoist operations
– pressure equipment operation
• Plant work no longer licensed includes:
– front-end loaders
– backhoes
– excavators
• Licence required for all high risk work at surface and underground

Essential guide to HRW licensing
• Rolled out to WA non-mining in
October 2007
• Mines Safety and Inspection
Regulations 1995 amended in July
2009 to phase in National
Standard
• ‘Certificate of competency’
replaced by licence
• Licences now valid throughout
Australia
• Licences are valid for 5 years and
administered by WorkSafe WA.

What is verification of competency (VOC)?
• MSIR regulation 4.13
• VOC assessments are how industry
compensated for the ‘easiness’ of
getting licensed for HRW
• On-site assessments ensure
operators are suitably trained and
confirms their ability to conduct the
work safely
• Examples include:
– EWP yellow card (scissor lifts
and EWP less than 11 metres)
– Site-based VOCs

What’s happening at your site?
1. What type of high risk work happens at your sites?
2. How is competency assessed?
3. How often is competency assessed?
4. What construction work is happening at your sites?
5. How is the construction work monitored? Who does
the monitoring?
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
13
What about auditing your operations?
• Draft construction audit now available
• Audit covers construction management systems and
specific high-risk construction work (HRCW)
• Have a go and give us feedback
• Guidance audit document available on request
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
14
What should you take from this workshop?
• Mines safety legislation applies to
all construction activities at mine
sites including demolition and
shutdowns
• Question how HRW assessments
are done at your site. Is the
process adequate?
• Where applicable, get involved
with your site’s construction
activities or at least find out what
they are doing
• Support positive cultural change!
