FEDERAL Safety Commissioner (FSC) Helen Marshall has released the 2008-09 Progress Report, which highlights the work done by the FSC and her office during the financial year.
According to the FSC, administration of the Australian Government Building and Construction OHS Accreditation Scheme was a primary focus for the department.
Commissioner Marshall claims the last financial year saw a significant growth in the scope and coverage of the Scheme. At the end of the 2008-09 financial year, 147 companies were accredited, an increase of 52% from the previous year.
Growth of the scheme is still continuing with a further 25 companies gaining accreditation since 1 July 2009.
The report also includes a summary of the performance of companies accredited under the Scheme.
Commissioner Marshall also says the report shows safety leadership remained a key priority along with the education and advice activities for its growing number of stakeholders.
