When I hear the occasional grumbling from some of our sub-contractors about Broad’s strong stand on OHS, particularly our enforcement of PPE on all Broad sites, I think about all the injuries that are no longer occurring on our sites as a direct result of this position.

This graph illustrates the reduction in Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) measured in six-month periods since June 2005 and forecast for the next five years.

In the 12 months to the end of June 2005, 13 lost time injuries occurred nationally at sites under Broad control. This was totally

unacceptable and, as a company, we vowed to proactively turn these figures around, permanently. (Note: Broad’s highest LTIFR is still well below the construction industry average of 20 denoted by the red line.)

Broad set a 50 per cent per year improvement target to reduce the number of lost time injuries, which was aimed at achieving our end goal of zero harm.

As a result of our drive for safer workplaces, we have reduced our LTIFR by 60 per cent in the last two years.

Central to this outcome is Broad’s decision to stop safety being used as an industrial

relations weapon on our sites. This has allowed everyone to concentrate on the real issue of ensuring a safe workplace for all.

Other key achievements in the last two years include:

• third party certification to AS4801 (OHS Management) and AS4360 (Risk Management).

• Broad WA awarded Platinum certificate in the 2007 WorkSafe WA Plan awards.

• Broad QLD won a Master Builders Award for “Excellence In Workplace Health and Safety” for the Griffith University G30 Building.

• Broad NSW attained OHS system accreditation from NSW Department of Commerce.

• Zero lost time injuries at Broad WA, Broad SA and Portside Fabrication (former subsidiary company) workplaces during 2006.

• Leaders in the organisation have conducted 66 site visits to engage colleagues and sub-contractors in frank and open discussion about safety matters and encourage safe behaviours.

• Provisional OHS accreditation from the Office of the Federal Safety Commissioner.

Broad continues to raise health and safety standards across its operations by working together with employees to develop and maintain a safer working culture.

However, improving OHS is a shared responsibility. I urge all of you - our sub-contractors, clients, suppliers and business partners - to encourage all participants in the building and construction industry to strive for a higher level of safety.

Regards

Kari Rummukainen Managing Director

Broad has won the contract to build a striking new environmentally-friendly office development in Stirling Street in the outer CBD of Perth for developer Charter Hall.

The $50 million building will be the latest showcase for Broad’s emerging talent for green construction methodologies.

The modern ‘A’ grade office building is designed to meet 4.5-star ABGR and 4 Green Star performance criteria and follows in the footsteps of the recently completed 25 Smith Street in Parramatta which was similarly rated.

Read more about this on page seven.

The Design and Construct contract for ONE30 Stirling Street incorporates four floors of commercial office space, four levels of car parking (500 car bays) and three ground floor retail tenancies.

Work is due to begin on the project in September 2007.

Broad WA has certainly seen the value of training up young people. The Perth office currently employs two construction cadets and two carpentry apprentices.

Project Manager, Leonard Munday is Co-ordinator of the WA Apprenticeship Program and says quite simply: “We’re training the future of Broad.”

“It’s a great way for us to secure intelligent, well-trained, dedicated future employees.

“Our apprentices are being groomed to become Site Supervisors and Site Managers and at the end of their three-year apprenticeship we can ensure they have the necessary knowledge and skills to fulfil these roles,” Leonard said.

“We want to build a culture in this company in which people want to work for 20 years,” said WA Construction Manager, Nick Cater.

“It makes commercial sense to develop and mould young people early in their careers and induct them into Broad’s way of doing business rather than trying to change people later. We’ve all benefited from training like this in our careers.”

nick started his construction career in the UK as a work experience trainee and says Broad WA’s Trainee Program is loosely based on his own training manual among other sources. In a new move this year, Leonard was appointed to co-ordinate the apprenticeship program, acting as a “champion” for the apprentices.

“We wanted to ensure the apprentices had a chance to be heard and that their interests, as well as Broad’s, were being looked after,” Nick said.

Jake Murray (17) David Zyntec (20) started their carpentry apprenticeships with Broad in January this year. David has been working on the New Performing Arts Venue since the project began under the supervision of Site Manager Craig Houlsby who was only to happy to sing his praises.

“David has good communication skills with the subbies on site; they respond well to him,” Craig said.

“He’s mature for his age, responds well under pressure and enjoys responsibility. He’s always asking questions; he’s like a sponge.

I would definitely have him working with me again.”

Site Manager for the recently completed Baldivis Shopping Centre project, Tom Larsen, was equally enthusiastic about the capability of Jake who was under his supervision earlier in the year.

“He’s keen, reliable and honest. He’s got a good work ethic and gets along well with everyone,” Tom said.

In addition to apprentices, Broad WA employed two construction cadets for the first time this year. BROADVIeW spoke with cadets Jonathan McCarthy and Chad Fisher who are currently working on the gPO site in Perth to get an insight into their experience with Broad so far.

Chad (28) and Jonathan (25) have distinct backgrounds. At 17, Chad bought his own ceiling fixing business in which he worked on and off for seven years before deciding he needed a richer and more structured learning environment that would boost his long-term career opportunities.

With regular headlines trumpeting the dire effects of across-the-board skills shortages on Australia’s productivity in this booming market, the construction industry in particular cannot afford to rest on its laurels when it comes to training the next crop of leaders.

Page 6: BroadView Issue Three

He had enrolled in a Diploma of Building at TAFE before seeing the construction cadet position advertised by Broad. At Broad’s recommendation, he pulled out of the TAFE building course and was employed full-time on a three-year construction cadetship.

“The Chadet”, as he has been nicknamed, is enthusiastic about working on the gPO site which he sees as “an excellent high profile project to start my career.”

“It’s full of interesting learning opportunities such as installing the tower crane, asbestos removal, heritage protection, public safety and union visits,” Chad said.

Chad is full of praise for the people he works with and the opportunities he’s been given to learn from mentors on site. However, given that his background in the industry is completely hands-on and practical with no exposure to structured training, he believes cadets like him would benefit greatly from additional training courses and other off-site learning opportunities.

“It’s one thing to be on site, but in terms of the technical side of things, I think you need sequential training,” he said.

“It’s not just about the qualification but the knowledge that comes with it. I know how it all comes together from my past experience, but I’d like a bit more technical knowledge.”

Unlike Chad who has industry experience but no formal qualifications, Jonathan is in his final year of a four-year Construction Management degree at Curtin University.

Apart from a brief stint as a brickie’s labourer, Jonathan had no practical experience before coming to Broad in 2006 on a three-month work experience program. This gave him a taste for different facets within the business.

In november, at the end of his work experience he asked Nick Cater for a job and commenced full-time work with Broad on Baldivis Shopping Centre the following February.

Jonathan is thoroughly enjoying his time with Broad and has found everyone to be “supportive and accommodating”. He says he’s learning a lot and as his confidence and knowledge increases so does his workload.

“I’m being exposed to a lot and I can learn as fast as I want, and if I want more work I’m kept busy. It’s all new to me, and if it’s new, it’s exciting all the time.”

Unlike Chad, Jonathan doesn’t put a lot of stock in formal study and generally hasn’t found his degree to be particularly useful or practical in his day-to-day work at Broad.

“It (construction) is hard to teach because every firm has their own processes, procedures and accounting systems,” he said.

Chad and Jonathan have both set their sights on becoming Project Managers at Broad which they acknowledge is a demanding role that will take time and work to achieve.

“Broad is a respected and progressive company and I see myself being a part of its future,” Chad said.

Broad WA’s three-year training program is split into two periods. The initial training period is two years during which time the Trainee will be given a wide range of experience across different facets of the business including a minimum of six months each on site in a supervisory role, in contracts administration and estimating.

The remainder of the time is at the Trainee Supervisor’s discretion but may include periods of experience in business systems, health and safety management, design management, planning and programming.

The final year of training is spent focused in the area of the business in which the trainee is most interested in developing their career in order to build their knowledge and level of competency.

Tweed City starting to take shape - June 2007

David Blinco knows just what these young men are experiencing having completed a three-year cadetship with Broad in Queensland.

>> Training the future of Broad

Six years after joining the fledgling Gold Coast office as a cadet, David is now a Project Engineer on the Tweed City Shopping Centre.

David was enrolled part-time and externally in a Bachelor of Construction Management through Central Queensland University when he was offered the full-time cadet position with the start-up Gold Coast office in 2001.

“They were still working out of portable site sheds when I started which in comparison to Broad’s Brisbane and Gold Coast offices today is a marked and impressive change. It has been good not only to grow professionally within Broad but to see the business grow as well,” David said.

There was no structure or formal nature to his cadetship which he attributes simply to the fact that the company was small and still finding its way. But this he notes was the beauty of his position as he acquired immediate hands-on experience, learning from several key people and gaining varied skills in all areas of construction, both site and office-oriented.

David believes that he wouldn’t have been given the opportunity with Broad had he not been enrolled to do formal study.

“These days a qualification gets you in the door and allows you to move forward in a company. It also teaches you applicable technical skills and shows your employer that you’re focused,” he said.

David is positive about his experiences with Broad saying he appreciates the many opportunities he’s been given. He credits Senior Contracts Administrator Brett Pipia for teaching him much of what he knows and acknowledges the ongoing support from other management.

“I’ve received applicable training in the right areas, so with my current site experience complementing five years in the office, I feel confident in my skills and expertise,” he said.

While he got a taste for many areas of the business, David worked primarily in contracts administration, finishing his cadetship and moving to a Junior CA position, then CA and now Project Engineer.

“On-site, practical experience is great and will benefit me in the long run. I enjoy seeing the building take shape, being in amongst it and the many new site-based challenges that have arisen. It’s a nice change from the office.”

When asked where he sees himself in the future, David laughs: “I think General Manager of the northern Territory office…no, wait, how about gM of the gulf Region?”

A Big Hairy Audacious Goal…Kari would approve of that!

25 Smith St opens to enthusiastic reviews

The Duke of Westminster officially opened the new tower in Parramatta which boasts a 4.5 star Australian Building Greenhouse Rating and 4 Green Star.

The Duke is Chairman of Grosvenor Trustees, the joint venture partner in the Smith Street development with Leighton Properties.

Project Manager Stuart Owen, who led a team of four core Broad staff during the 66-week construction programme, was thrilled with the final result.

“I couldn’t be happier with the way the project has run,” he said.

“The Smith Street project team of Peter Sarti, Andrew Tricardos, Drasko Vekic, and me have worked incredibly well together and I can’t thank them enough for the hard work and dedication they’ve shown on this project.”

The Broad team putting

the finishing touches on its

spectacular new building at

25 Smith St in Parramatta was

preparing for a royal opening on

27 July.

Special features include:

• 4.5 star ABGR (Australian Building Greenhouse Rating)

• 4 Green Star design

• 12,000 sqm ‘A’ Grade office space with five retail provisions

• valuable heritage items retained

• extensive re-use of recycled water

• low environmental emission design building automation

• CBD position close to transport and commercial retail areas

Page 9: BroadView Issue Three

“We’ve had a good run; bringing the project in on time and within budget, and the final product - an attractive, functional, environmentally friendly building - does us proud.”

The sleek composite façade of glazing and pre-finished precast sets the striking building apart from any other in the area, while internally providing tenant comfort through smart and efficient building systems.

The tower’s 10,500sqm of ‘A’ grade office space has been wholly leased to IAg (Insurance Australia group) illustrating the strong demand for high quality commercial space in Parramatta.

The five retail areas on the ground floor have also attracted keen interest from potential tenants.

The Broad team at the recently completed 25 Smith Street project offered their time and expertise to young trainees participating in a pre-vocational construction program facilitated by Mission Australia.

The trainees are taught what to expect and how to operate effectively in a construction environment, the basics of OHS, tool usage, estimating, workplace communication and job search skills.

On completion of the five-week program, trainees receive a Statement of Attainment of Certificate II in General Construction and an industry induction card (the mandatory safety permit for all construction site workers).

Smith Street Project Manager Stuart Owen showed two groups of trainees around the project, giving them a taste

for a working construction site. They also learnt more about environmentally-friendly building practices given the building’s 4 Green Star and 4.5-star Australian Building greenhouse Rating.

NSW / ACT Registered Training Organisation Manager Ann-Marie king said the program primarily attracted students who were considering leaving school at Year 10 and looking to get into an apprenticeship or other vocational education stream.

However, the program was open to all age groups and particularly targeted disadvantaged and at risk young people and the long term unemployed.

“The construction course had been running for 12 months and has received an overwhelming response from applicants,” Ms king said.

“Our trainer in Parramatta, Joe Spokes, is absolutely amazing. He provides wonderful leadership for the trainees and is very patient and calm,” she said.

Mr Spokes is a registered builder and has been working as a trainer with the Mission Australia construction program since Christmas 2006.

“I’ve had some very enthusiastic young men and women who are going on to undertake various apprenticeships in the industry and others who have decided to stay on and complete Year 12, both of which are positive outcomes,” he said.

“I’d like to think the exposure our program has given trainees to the construction industry has played a part in their decision.”

Broad goes green

HSE FocusFull Federal OH&S accreditation

In 2006, Broad achieved provisional OHS accreditation which enabled Broad to ‘pre-qualify’ and tender for work over $6 million involving Federal Government funds.

Provisional accreditation expires in July and Broad is pursuing full accreditation status. Broad WA, Broad QLD and Broad

Broad WA is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions from electricity usage and has made a commitment to purchase green Energy.

This environmental commitment involves purchasing 100 per cent NaturalPower energy via Synergy (WA electricity provider) for future electricity use at sites under Broad WA control.

It is one of the simplest and most effective actions Broad WA can take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

NaturalPower is energy that is generated from renewable sources, such as solar and wind, and is accredited by the National greenPower Accreditation Program.

“Purchasing accredited greenPower for our business helps reduce emissions of harmful greenhouse pollution in Australia and contributes to a sustainable environment with greater energy resources for future generations,” general Manager WA Simon Amos said.

“As part of the community, Broad WA has a clear responsibility to drive sustainability issues forward both within our company and in the industries in which we operate.”

Broad is planning to roll this initiative out nationally in the coming months.

nSW have just passed a ‘desktop’ (systems) audit by the Office of the Federal Safety Commissioner for full accreditation status.

Federal safety officers are currently auditing Broad WA, QLD and NSW site operations to assess if we meet the criteria to attain full OHS accreditation status.

BROADVIeW reported in its first edition on the significant rail station work Broad is undertaking in NSW.

Easy Access works at Lakemba and Merrylands rail stations have been completed and work continues on Seven Hills, Carlton, Werrington and Eastwood stations.

Site Manager for Seven Hills, Paul Hughes, spoke to BROADVIEW about the challenges associated with these projects.

“They’re not as cut and dry as they may seem,” Paul said.

“There are a number of factors that make these jobs tricky such as co-ordinating our activities with the train schedule, working close to overhead power lines and reaching areas of the track with large cranes.”

“Add the general public to this mix and particular requirements from client Railcorp and this job certainly keeps us on our toes.”

“Seeing just how massive the rail network really is and the varied machinery they use to maintain the network is also pretty interesting,” Paul said.

The Broad team at Seven Hills is happy to have successfully completed all in ground works, installed and clad the four lift shafts and largely finished the steelwork.

“Our sub-contractors have worked in well with the program and I would recommend them to anyone. It’s great to see them achieve their work with relief on their faces.”

Architectural highlights incorporating features to the exterior of the building include many different brick colours with glazed bricks sourced interstate, cantilevered steel Ambulance and main entry canopies, “meandering” weathered steel sun shades with angled support columns and tapered windows to various elevations.

Stage two of the project involved demolition of the old hospital, completion of building works, car parks and landscaping.

“Construction within the health sector requires precision and attention to detail especially when the hospital remains in operation throughout the program as geraldton did,” said WA Construction Manager Nick Cater.

“The project team is to be congratulated on this exceptional achievement.”

Judging continues for Master Builders Excellence in Construction Awards in state organisations across the country. Broad has submitted projects in several categories in the QLD and NSW state awards which will be awarded at the gala Dinners on 12 and 13 October 2007, respectively.

Broad WA’s Geraldton Hospital Redevelopment picked up two Master Builders Association Excellence in Construction Awards showcasing our expertise in delivering complex construction projects.

greeted by archways of blue, red and white balloons, guests could have been forgiven for thinking they’d walked into a US Republican Convention if not for the omnipresent Broad logo blazoned across the decorations.

The event proved as popular as ever with a full house of close to 400 industry people sharing a laugh and a drink in the relaxed surrounds. Broad’s famed hospitality did not disappoint with platters of seafood and canapés making the rounds all night and the bar staff kept busy with sociable guests.

Broad’s annual Cocktail Party is a chance for us to thank our loyal sub-contractors, suppliers and clients for their support and hard work throughout the past year. It also provides an opportunity to catch up with colleagues on a social level.

general Manager WA Simon Amos kept speeches short and sweet with a “state of the industry” update which recognised the

fierce competition with the resources sector for skilled workers. He acknowledged that despite rich work pickings at the moment, these opportunities often meant long hours and prolonged stretches working away from home, which could take their toll on a healthy work life balance.

Simon also gave attendees a brief update on a couple of Broad’s latest and greatest WA projects namely, St Cecilia’s Accommodation Complex in Port Hedland, GPO Redevelopment in the CBD and the Submarine Maintenance Facility in Henderson.

Judging from the number of people returning each year and the glowing feedback received by staff on the night, Broad certainly knows how to throw a good party.

We hope you enjoyed yourself on the night and look forward to your company next year.
