As client groups nationally move to a more risk management approach to procurement of contractors’ services, the need for management systems such as the CCF-IMS and the certification of those systems against relevant Standards becomes an essential tool of business.
It is now widely acknowledged that contractors wishing to compete in the civil construction field are significantly limited in their ability to gain client recognition of their capability if their management systems do not meet client and industry expectations.
From another perspective, given the risks associated with operating a civil construction business, it makes good business sense to maintain and operate under appropriate systems to minimize the risk of breaching legislative, community and commercial obligations.
The CCF aims to greatly assist contracting businesses develop appropriate systems across Health and Safety, Environmental and Quality Management by making the CCF-IMS available to contractors. It should be emphasized that the CCF has developed the CCF-IMS to generically comply with the requirements of the Civil Construction Management Code and/or the higher level Standards of ISO 9001-2008 (Quality), ISO 14001-2004 (Environmental) and AS/NZ 4801 (Occupational Health and Safety).
