Common use of OHS Requirements Clause in Contracts

OHS Requirements. The Consulting Engineer shall at all stages of the design development identify elements of the design that are inherently dangerous or hazardous during the construction phase and design in such a manner as to mitigate or eliminate the risk where possible. At the culmination of each development phase all identified dangers/hazards shall be listed and brought to the attention of the Client and agreed hazards shall be emphasised and given prominence by way of notification on the drawings and separately listed in the respective phase-end reports. They shall appear in the drawings and the tender document for issue to a contractor. For example, staging for bridge decks or shoring of unstable excavations is the designer’s responsibility to identify and notify of the health and safety risk.
