In everything that we do

July 2011

Enhancing Our APPEARANCE Worksites should appear professional and well managed.

•Ensuring that the appearance of worksites enhances the image of the industry and corporate identities. •Being organised, clean and tidy on worksites and in the immediate surroundings. •Enhancing and maintaining the appearance of site boundaries, site facilities, stored materials, vehicles and plant. •Enhancing the image of site workers through what they wear.

July 2011

Respecting the COMMUNITYConstructors should give paramount consideration to the impact on neighbours and the public.

•Showing courtesy and respect to the public and others affected by the work, including keeping them informed. •Minimising the impact of deliveries, parking and work on public highway. •Contributing to and supporting the local community and economy.•Working to create a positive and lasting impression and promoting the Code.

July 2011

Securing everyone’s SAFETYThere should be a zero tolerance of poor safety performance.

•Having systems for ensuring work is carried out with care and consideration for the safety of the public, visitors and workers. •Embedding attitudes and behaviours that enhance safety performance. •Including initiatives for continuous safety improvement. •Minimising security risks to neighbours.

July 2011

Protecting the ENVIRONMENTThe environment should be enhanced by all that is done.

• Having systems for addressing waste, the carbon footprint, pollution, use of resources and sustainability.

• Minimising the impact of noise, vibration and light pollution.

• Protecting the ecology, the landscape, wildlife, vegetation and water courses.

• Making a positive contribution to the local environment.

July 2011

Caring for the WORKFORCEThe industry should be an exemplar in the way that it cares for its

workers.

• Providing a working environment in which everyone is respected, treated fairly, encouraged and supported.

• Securing acceptable standards of behaviour.• Identifying personal development needs and providing

training.• Caring for the health and wellbeing of the workforce

including maintaining high standards of welfare provision.

Project Matrix

Considerations: Monitoring and Checklists

• Code compliance is a core expectation• Around 50 to 60 questions• Remove ‘legal’ questions?• Closed compliance questions?• Other questions open and subjective?• Scoring only starts when compliance achieved?• A ‘star’ rating system for display on sites?

July 2011

Project Matrix

Considerations: Monitoring Checklists

Model A• ‘Must do’ closed compliance questions• No score if fail a compliance question• Other ‘non-bold’ questions• A bit like now

Model B• All open questions• All directly related to the Code bullets

July 2011

Project Matrix

Considerations: Monitoring Checklists

Reports• Take no longer to write than now• Text by 5 part Code or by the 20 bullets• Executive Summary

Scoring• Emphasis on the positive• A 5 star scoring band that can be displayed on

projects

July 2011

Project Matrix

Associates Meeting

Code and question set• Liked a simplified ‘bullet’ text in ‘Plain English’• Like a strong link between Code and questions• Strong preference for open questions and

closed questions not liked• ‘Unique’ should go

July 2011

Project Matrix

Associates Meeting

Reports and Scoring• Reports need to be in the ‘positive’• Executive summary liked• Scoring out of 100 or 50 allow a percentage

score to be awarded• A star system liked by some while some might

be confused
