Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity Potential Hazards
Governance
  • No defined site security and asset-protection standard across projects
  • Unclear accountability for securing the workplace, plant, materials, keys and access media
  • Security risks not included in the WHS management plan, site rules or risk review process
  • Commercial loss, unauthorised access and public exposure treated as separate from WHS risk
Consultation and Coordination
  • Poor consultation with workers and subcontractors about access, deliveries, isolations and lock-up arrangements
  • Overlapping duties between PCBUs causing gaps in perimeter control, shared access points or storage areas
  • After-hours attendance and changed site conditions not communicated to affected parties
Access Control
  • Unauthorised persons entering the construction workplace due to weak entry controls
  • Inadequate visitor management, sign-in processes or escort arrangements
  • Keys, swipe devices, gate codes or lock combinations not controlled or not revoked when personnel change
  • Open or damaged fencing, gates and hoardings allowing public access to hazards
Induction and Competency
  • Workers and visitors unaware of site security rules, restricted areas, reporting lines or emergency contacts
  • Supervisors not trained to enforce access rules, challenge unauthorised entry or manage security incidents
  • Contractors commencing work without verified construction induction or site-specific induction
Contractor and Visitor Management
  • Subcontractors bringing uncontrolled workers, vehicles or plant onto site
  • Temporary labour, service providers and delivery drivers not subjected to the same site rules
  • No defined supervision or verification of contractor compliance with security expectations
Plant, Tools and Material Control
  • No asset register or allocation system for plant, tools, hazardous substances and high-value materials
  • Poor storage arrangements allowing theft, misuse, tampering or unsafe retrieval of equipment
  • Plant left energised, unlocked or with keys in place after use
  • Missing equipment not identified early due to weak inspection and reconciliation processes
Maintenance and Inspection Systems
  • Damaged fences, locks, lighting, storage units or gates not identified or repaired in time
  • Inspection regimes are informal, inconsistent or undocumented
  • Defective security-related controls remain in service without escalation or temporary risk controls
Traffic and Delivery Interface
  • Uncontrolled deliveries creating open access points, congestion or conflict between workers, vehicles and the public
  • No booking or verification process for incoming vehicles, suppliers or collection of materials
  • Security controls bypassed during busy periods, shift change or remote unloading
Emergency and Incident Response
  • No response process for trespass, theft, aggression, vandalism, tampering or discovery of unsecured hazards after hours
  • Workers unsure who to contact or how to isolate affected areas following a security incident
  • Incident response focused on property loss only, without preserving WHS controls or investigating root causes
Monitoring, Records and Review
  • Security inspections, inductions, incidents and corrective actions not recorded or not retrievable
  • Management unable to verify whether controls are being implemented consistently across projects
  • Lessons from thefts, breaches, vandalism or public access events not incorporated into system improvement
