TDG (Transportation of Dangerous Goods)

A data-driven system that analyses historical incident and near-miss records to forecast safety risks before they occur on site. Subcontractors may be required to feed worker hours, incident logs, and hazard reports into a client's PSAF platform. Compliance with PSAF reporting requirements is often tied to contract eligibility and site access approval.

Gas produced by decomposing waste in landfills, primarily methane and carbon dioxide. Subcontractors working near landfill sites must account for LFG (Landfill Gas) detection and ventilation requirements. Exposure risks and monitoring obligations affect site safety planning and PPE requirements.

Positions where errors or unqualified personnel can directly cause injury, fatality, or major incident on a worksite. Common examples include H2S monitors, crane operators, and confined space attendants. Subcontractors must verify certifications and competency before placing workers in these roles.

A system for categorising ground conditions by type, stability, and load-bearing capacity. Subcontractors use it to determine excavation methods, shoring requirements, and equipment suitability. Misreading soil class can trigger safety violations or costly project delays.

A contract between a project owner and local stakeholders requiring hiring targets for local labour and subcontractors. Field service companies bidding on major projects may need to demonstrate local content compliance to qualify. Non-compliance can result in contract penalties or disqualification.

Parts that contain or seal pressurised fluids, such as valves, flanges, pipes, and pressure vessels. Subcontractors working on these parts must meet strict code compliance, including ASME or CSA certification requirements. Uninspected or improperly repaired components can trigger site shutdowns and liability exposure.
