Work Health & Safety

Master Builders SA understand the pressures of running a business in today’s world, with constant changes to legislation, compliance and more.

That is why we have invested in developing the Master Builders Suite, adding more value to help you. We are always on hand to give guidance and advice when you need it.

Master Builders Suite is included as a service incorporated in your membership fee.

SWMS

SWMS allows members to create and complete a Safe Work Method Statement there and then on-site on any device and it is quick and easy to use.

Toolbox

Toolbox is an addition to the Suite that allows members to document on-site toolbox meetings there and then, ensuring that all workers are aware of potential hazards,
safety procedures and best practices. By recording these meetings, members are demonstrating their commitment to safety compliance and can provide evidence of ongoing safety training.

MySafetyEvents, SWMS and Toolbox are available from Master Builders SA online Suite.

To avoid fines and non-compliance you must display adequate signage at your building site before any construction work begins. There’s no reason to fork out for fines for something as simple as putting up the right signage!

While the term “adequate” can be vague, depending on the size and scope of the project, there should be a minimum of one general safety sign posted at each building, as well as additional signs at any point that could be reasonably deemed to be an entrance into the building zone.

In addition to general safety info, health and safety legislation stipulates that anyone on or near a construction site must be warned of all hazardous activities related to the project.

Any safe work site should have a clear set of rules and a designated safety manager named and contact details provided. Display site rules where they can be easily seen, in a high-traffic area.

Master Builders SA has partnered with SiteBook as its official safety and compliance platform, purpose-built for South Australia’s building and construction industry.

As a Master Builders SA member, you now have free access to Tradie Lite: digital SWMS, incident reports, and toolbox talks, all accessible from any device.

No forms. No folders. No chasing paperwork at the end of the day. Getting started takes five minutes. Activate using your Master Builders SA member number, download the app, and your first SWMS takes about 60 seconds to create.

For builders who need more, Master Builders SA Safety Pro is available at an exclusive Master Builders SA members rate of  $99/month.

Safety Pro includes all Tradie Lite features plus digital site inductions via QR code, contractor pre-qualification, document storage, and a daily safety noticeboard.
