The Getting Home Safely report was written in response to an inquiry into the safety practices of the construction industry in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). This inquiry was requested due to the high level of injuries in the construction industry in the ACT and in response to three fatalities that had occurred in this industry in the year prior.
This document offers our response to the Getting Home Safely report.
It is our recommendation that the report should urgently be complemented by an addendum report which explores the relationship between gender and the organisation of the construction industry in the ACT; and that this addendum report provide clear guidance to the industry on why it needs to investigate this relationship and how construction companies can go about it.
