WorkSafe Innovation team and MBIE Accord for Construction have collaborated to sponsor the Thriving Infrastructure project. Thriving Infrastructure project is bringing together a diverse group of people, from procurement to those building our infrastructure, to collaboratively maximise positive outcomes of work. To address the systemic challenges of a fragmented system, low profitability for some, cyclical boom-bust periods, and inconsistent procurement and risk management practices, we need to leverage our collective capacity for coordinated change.

The aim of this project is to test if we can unlock new pathways for creating a thriving infrastructure sector by connecting multiple agencies to co-create and test new practices around a common purpose. The community have formed missions and experiments to test new pathways. WorkSafe are invested in this because it is expected a thriving infrastructure will deliver better health and safety outcomes.
