The Queen’s Wharf project in Brisbane is among the construction sites in southeast Queensland that will be subject to a new hot weather policy. The agreement between the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining & Energy Union and Multiplex will allow building workers to stop work temporarily when the temperature reaches 28C and humidity tops 75 per cent at least three hours before the start of a shift. Master Builders Queensland CEO Grant Galvin says the policy will be an occupational health and safety nightmare, and he warns that it could be exploited by the CFMMEU.
