The entry by Grocon 5 Martin Place $50M+ and open category, stood out due to the overwhelming number of times the site team took the initiative and introduced control measures to eliminate, substitute, isolate, implement engineering controls and administrative controls, at every opportunity to reduce risks in the re-design phase with re-engineered approaches to the build challenge throughout the project, where ever practicably possible.
The Grocon Site Team have applied every element of the hierarchy of controls to this project and developed a safety culture that appears to be sustainable. An encouraging philosophy that the rest of the industry could learn from. A culture where zero harm was not mentioned once, an Americanised term not realistically achievable, yet the Grocon Site Team at 5 Martin Place delivered outcomes that exceeded this on a daily basis.
