1.0 Introduction:
As future employees of the building industry it is important to gain as much of an understanding of our proposed industry as possible before we are a part of it. This report will demonstrate an understanding of key aspects of the industry. The investigation will utilise the Internet, local library, class notes and work experience. Beginning with xxxxx organisational structure, the report will take a thorough look into what might be a typical scenario for modern business. Then explore the occupational health and safety side of the work place with examples of good and bad practices including a hazard and risk audit. Finally, a look into the documentation that accompanies quality procedures for a typical work place, including examples.

2.3 Current / Past Projects: Soon after starting xxxxxxxxx Constructions, the first project came in, building a shed for a farmer called xxxxxx. Some twenty-five years later xxx would be involved in the construction of xxxxxxxx. To give an idea of the scope of works by xxxxxx here are some projects in chronological order:

1958: xxxxxxx

An iconic theatre hosting all the best concerts, through to ice-skating in winter.

2001: xxx

A large undertaking with many other specialist companies.

2.4 Alliances: xxxx have a special division for organising alliances so there are many companies that could be listed as alliance partners. Here is a very small sample:

2.5 Organisational Structure: xxxxxxxxis wholly owned by Leighton Holdings, they have a board of twelve, under them is the board of JH with eight members and under them are the regional and area managers numbering twenty.

3.0 Occupational Health & Safety:

3.1 Introduction to OH & S: xxxxxx A modern work place is equally focused on the health and wellbeing of its workers as it is on its bottom line. The standard is always being lifted with improved products and procedures. While we will always be restricted by the reasonably practicable, correct systems and control methods help the working population return home in the same condition in which they arrived. 3.2 Standard Forms: - Incident Report Form: The most common form is the Incident Report Form (appendix 1). This is used to record any accident, incident, injury or near miss. It provides a reference with vital details that can be called upon at any time. It is important to fill in the form as soon as possible after the event so that an accurate picture is formed. - Hazard Audit: Workplace activities may appear to be safe to someone when they have been working with them and know what to look for. For new people and visitors the dangers will not be obvious. Below is a typical form that can be used to open discussion and find resolutions to hazards in the workplace before an incident occurs.

These Hazard Audit Forms show example 1 and 12 from my photographs of bad examples of OH & S in the following pages. (appendix 2) The report covers: o Where the hazard is o Who has assessed it o Who has acknowledged it o What the hazard is, and o Risk controls

- Risk Management: Following the Hazard Audit is a Risk Assessment (appendix 2). This is done in conjunction with the hazard audit. It gives the hazard a score that will help prioritise the issue, it will also recommend control measures and who will carry them out.

This form outlines o The Hazard o Any current control measures o Its Rating, based on the form below o Recommended control measures o Comments o A Priority rating o Who will fix the issue, and o What date it will be fixed by.

This form gives the issue a rating in numerical form to help prioritise it.

- Office Hazards Form: An office environment can offer as many hazards as being on site. An example of an office OH & S checklist (appendix 3) provides some typical things to look out for and has provision for extras. - Material Safety Data Sheet: Any hazardous substance comes with a warning label and instructions / recommendations for use. In the construction industry the best way to find these details is in the MSDS (appendix 4). This document covers vital information for the user including: o First aid, o Precautions, o Safe handling and o Classification.

4.0 Quality Systems:

4.1 Introduction to Quality Systems: All work places have quality control measures in place. For the purposes of this report I will use the quality control documents at my workplace. In my searches it has been quite difficult to find hard copies of engineering examples of quality control. 4.2 Induction Manual (Quality Procedures): When new employees start work they receive a copy of the induction manual. It covers many areas relating to general work tasks and overall job scope. Some of the items it covers include: -Uniform -Safety -How to deal with customers -What to do in case of - Late Attendance - Sickness - Injury

4.3 Incident Report form: Operating machinery and working with vehicles and chemicals leads to regular injuries. Most are minor cuts and burns from a lack of attention. In this case we have an incident report form (appendix 2). This form is also used for vehicle accidents. The form has to be filled in as soon as possible after the incident and we fax a copy to head office where it is processed.

4.7 Summary: As workplaces get more sophisticated they need to keep more records and have the ability to produce meaningful data from them. The referenced forms are the start of this process.

5.0 Conclusion:
A prospective member of any industry is better off having an understanding of it. This report has given some insight into areas that will be encountered daily in the building and construction industry. After investigating the key aspects of Organisational Structure, Occupational Health & Safety and Quality Systems, understanding of the topic has increased. Key points include the cross ownership and diversification of companies. The need for vigilance in the area of safety as it was not difficult to find fault at various sites all across Melbourne. And, the control methods and documentation in place for controlling the quality of projects and people.
