Construction

Acumen has significant experience in all aspects of the construction industry from developing integrated management systems addressing:

Office of the Federal Safety Commission (OFSC) accreditation
NSW Government Procurement requirements
Work health and safety management systems and auditing guidelines (edition 5)
Assessing site safety plans for contractual requirements,
Carrying out site/project audits.
Chain of Responsibility;
ISO9001 (Quality):
ISO14001 (Environment):
ISO45001 (Safety);

The systems we develop are simple to operate, make sense and are not burdened with useless paperwork and forms. This is particularly true of safety. The key objective of any safety system is to ensure workers are safe. Off the shelf manuals and software systems cannot deliver this.

Federal Safety Commission (OFSC) accreditation is particularly difficult. Acumen has successful track record in taking companies though this process. Our objective is to ensure your company is not strangled with excessively complex systems just to pass the OFSC audit. Our advice will ensure that you achieve OFSC accreditation with simple effective solutions.
