Welcome to the FSC website

The role of the Federal Safety Commissioner is to promote and improve occupational health and safety (OHS) in the building and construction industry.

The Australian Government is committed to working with the building and construction industry to improve its OHS performance. As one of the largest purchasers of building and construction work nationally, the Australian Government is committed to being a model client and influencing OHS outcomes for the industry.


From 1 October 2007, the Australian Government Building and Construction OHS Accreditation Scheme thresholds have been reduced to $3 million for projects directly funded by the Australian Government.

The Scheme also applies to projects indirectly funded by the Australian Government, where the funding agreement or grant is signed on or after 1 October 2007 - thresholds apply.
