Construction

The construction industry is changing.  Legislative requirements are tightening and we are seeing increased enforcement and community expectations for OHS/WHS and environmental compliance. JTA has been providing construction services for over 35 years for both major and smaller projects.

Construction Issues

Safe Work Australia tells us that in spite of significant reductions in recent years, construction remains one of the highest risk industries with 35 serious claims each day. The main injuries are body stressing, falls, trips and slips, and being hit by moving objects. The main causes of fatality are falls from a height, vehicle incidents and contact with electricity.   

Compliance Issues

We have developed a detailed understanding of construction compliance requirements and offer practical, economical solutions.  Our wide range of WHS/OHS and environmental services are based on scientific risk assessment designed to meet compliance requirements. We can also consult and communicate with key authorities and local stakeholders to prevent and manage objections and complaints.

We are also experienced in contaminated soil projects, including Asbestos.

Construction noise needs to be carefully controlled. Our Noise and Vibration Modelling will determine compliance requirements before, during and after construction. We also provide Noise and Vibration Monitoring to verify compliance during projects whilst our Building Acoustic testing and design will predict, diagnose and solve your building and room acoustic issues.
