This podcast examines who truly shapes safety on infrastructure worksites — and why the client often holds the decisive power. The episode explains how client decisions on budgets, timelines and procurement set the incentives that drive safety culture, why current procurement and political pressures frequently prioritise cost over worker protection, and how embedding minimum OHS standards into tendering and project design can materially reduce harm. Practical policy and procurement reforms are highlighted as evidence-informed ways governments and other clients can use their legal and financial levers to prevent injuries and deaths. Subscribe to SafetyAtWorkBlog on SoundCloud for more episodes and in-depth analysis of workplace health and safety.
