Work health and safety for QBuild

We are committed to Zero Harm at Work.

This means our work health and safety (WHS) objective is to cause no harm to any worker, contractor, customer or member of the public any time while at work.

All contractors and subcontractors must comply with all current WHS legislation and the Conditions of working with QBuild (PDF, 471KB) when providing works and services for QBuild.

WHS induction

Contractors, including approved subcontractors and their workers, must complete the QBuild WHS induction before starting work on a QBuild site.

Working across multiple QBuild regions

At the end of the induction, you're asked to select 1 region. If you work in multiple regions, you don't need to complete the induction multiple times. Select the region where your main office is located and this will be valid for work throughout the state.
