Construction safety rates vary sharply across borders despite workers using the same tools and handling identical risks. This episode traces how regulatory systems, accountability frameworks, and mental health enforcement shape on-the-job survival across the US, UK, and Australia. Explore why safety is increasingly driven by project governance and procurement choices rather than site PPE.
Key topics covered
• Comparing international jobsite fatality rates across major economies
• Analyzing the impact of the UK Building Safety Act 2022 on project duty holders
• Establishing the golden thread of safety information throughout an asset lifecycle
• Regulating psychosocial hazards and mental health as physical workplace safety risks
• Evaluating safety performance as a competitive factor in global labor markets
