This research will help to improve the dismal occupational health and safety record of the Australian construction industry (240% more injuries than all-industry average). It will also help to reduce the relatively high levels of workplace compensation due to occupational injuries and diseases (70% higher than all-industry average). Since construction employs 8% of the working population and generates 6% of GDP, significant economic and social benefits will arise for wider society from a more culturally harmonious, efficient and productive construction industry. Finally, by making construction safer for NESB migrants who are a significant source of labour, this research will help to reduce severe skill shortages.

这项研究将有助于改善澳大利亚建筑业糟糕的职业健康和安全记录（受伤人数比全行业平均水平高 240%）。它还将有助于降低因工伤和职业病而导致的相对较高的工作场所补偿水平（比全行业平均水平高70%）。由于建筑业雇用了 8% 的劳动人口并创造了 6% 的 GDP，文化更加和谐、高效和富有成效的建筑业将为更广泛的社会带来巨大的经济和社会效益。最后，通过使作为重要劳动力来源的 NESB 移民的建筑施工更加安全，这项研究将有助于减少严重的技能短缺问题。
