Industry Expertise
Construction & Infrastructure
Supporting builders, contractors and infrastructure developers to meet their SHEQ obligations and win more work.
Industry Overview
Construction and infrastructure projects involve dynamic, high-hazard work environments where risks change daily. From residential development to major civil and resource-related construction, businesses must navigate complex WHS legislation, contractual SHEQ requirements and multi-party workforces. SHEQ Management helps construction businesses build practical systems that protect their people, satisfy principal contractor requirements and demonstrate the capability needed to compete for the best projects.
Key Risks & Requirements
Falls from Height
Working at height remains the leading cause of fatality in construction. Robust fall prevention systems, rescue planning and supervision are essential.
Plant & Equipment Hazards
Cranes, excavators and mobile plant operating in shared workspaces require rigorous traffic management, exclusion zones and operator competency controls.
Principal Contractor Obligations
Under WHS legislation, PCBUs with management or control of a construction site carry specific duties around site safety management plans and coordination.
Safe Work Method Statements
High-risk construction work requires documented SWMSs before work commences. We assist in developing, reviewing and auditing SWMS across your projects.
Tender & Prequalification Requirements
Contractors increasingly need to demonstrate SHEQ capability to win work. We help you build the systems and documentation required for prequalification.
Subcontractor Management
Managing diverse subcontractor workforces across concurrent projects requires structured induction, competency verification and performance monitoring.

Don’t Shoot The Messenger. Especially When They are Trying to Help
We all expect great service. But when a crisis hits, frustration can quickly end up directed at the very people working hardest to fix the problem. This isn’t just about customer service. It’s about the human cost of how we treat suppliers, contractors and advisers when the pressure is on.

A client recently engaged SHEQ Management to carry out a comprehensive fatigue risk assessment ahead of a major operational change: introducing 12-hour shifts as part of a transition from day operations to a 24/7 production facility.
