Key recommendations include: an increase in the number of construction inspectors to maintain health and safety standards in the industry; a national tower crane and plant register (in response to recent tower crane collapses); higher health and safety fines to provide a more effective deterrent for duty holders to comply with obligations; and enhancing the role of health and safety union representatives.
