🏗 Roma Construction Context
Construction Is One of Queensland's Highest-Risk Industries
Roma's construction sector is booming. Population growth driven by the resources industry has fuelled substantial residential, commercial, and infrastructure development across the Maranoa Region. Roma Hospital upgrades, commercial developments along Northern Road, and residential subdivisions are keeping local and contractor crews busy year-round.
Construction consistently ranks among Queensland's highest-risk industries for workplace injury and fatality. Falls from height, struck-by incidents involving machinery and materials, caught-in/between hazards, and electrocution are the leading causes of serious construction injuries. When an incident occurs on a Roma building site, the response in the first few minutes determines the outcome.
⚠ WHS Legal Obligation for Construction Site First Aid
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (QLD) and WHS Regulation 2011, all persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) in construction must ensure first aid equipment and trained first aiders are available at all times workers are on site. Failure to meet this obligation exposes your business to significant penalties. Our training ensures your team meets the legal standard.
Construction-Specific Hazards Covered in Training
Falls from Height
The leading cause of construction fatality. Training covers spinal precautions, head injury assessment, internal bleeding recognition, and management while awaiting QAS — critical on Roma sites where response may take 15+ minutes.
Crush & Struck-By Injuries
Excavators, bobcats, crane loads, and formwork can create catastrophic crush injuries. We cover tourniquet application, wound packing, crush syndrome recognition, and maintaining victim position until emergency services arrive.
Electrical Incidents
Underground services, live wiring, and temporary supplies are ongoing hazards. Training covers safe scene approach, do-not-touch protocols, isolation checking, and CPR for electrocution victims.
Deep Lacerations & Amputations
Power tools and reinforcing steel cause severe lacerations and partial or full amputations on building sites. We cover haemorrhage control, wound management, and preserving amputated parts for potential reattachment.
Heat Illness
Roma's extreme summer heat (regularly exceeding 40°C) combined with physical labour and PPE creates serious heat stress risk. Training covers recognition and rapid cooling — particularly important on exposed Roma sites in January and February.
Eye & Respiratory Injuries
Grinding sparks, concrete dust, chemical splashes, and insulation fibres cause eye and respiratory emergencies. Training covers eye irrigation, foreign body removal limits, and respiratory distress management.
Legal Requirements — QLD Construction Sites
✅ Your Site's First Aid Obligations Under WHS Regulation 2011
- At least one first aider present whenever workers are on site
- Appropriate first aid kit based on site hazard and workforce size
- First aid facilities (including space for a casualty to lie down) on larger sites
- Emergency response plan including first aid provisions and QAS contact details
- First aid certificates current (HLTAID011 valid for 3 years; CPR refreshed annually)
- First aiders proportionate to number of workers — higher risk = more first aiders
- Information about first aid arrangements communicated to all workers on induction

Frequently Asked Questions
Construction first aid in Roma — common questions answered.
Under QLD WHS Regulation, construction sites must have a trained first aider at all times. For fewer than 10 workers, at least one first aider. For 10–50 workers, at least one per work group. Larger sites or high-risk work (height, excavation) require more. Remote Roma sites should also account for extended QAS response times when assessing their needs.
Yes. We offer on-site delivery across Roma and the Maranoa Region. We bring all equipment and training materials. We can work around your site's operational schedule — early morning, split shifts, or weekend sessions. Contact us for a tailored quote.
Under WHS law, the principal contractor has overarching responsibility for first aid on a construction site. However, many principal contractors require subcontractors to hold their own current HLTAID011 as a condition of engagement. This also protects subcontractors' own workforce. We recommend all trades workers hold a current certificate.
Both lead to the same HLTAID011 qualification. The difference is in the practical scenarios and contextual information. Our construction-specific delivery uses building site scenarios — fall injuries, power tool lacerations, electrical incidents, and heat illness on exposed sites — rather than generic retail or office simulations. The result is more confident, capable first aiders for your specific environment.
