1.5 RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAFETY AT WORK SITES
The organization carrying out construction or
maintenance operations on roads or bridges needs
to be cognizant of its responsibility for any injury to
road users or damage to property as a result of
such operations. There is a further obligation to
provide a safe workplace environment which
minimizes, as far as practicable, the likelihood
of injury to workers by traffic within or adjacent
to the work area. Principals and contractors
need to be aware of the requirements of State
OHS legislation and be prepared to implement them as they apply to this obligation.
