Trevor Phippen, author of the CCF Code Update, presenting to the Bendigo Workshop.

Advantages – The new Code has many advantages over other Management Systems Standards, including the following:

Specific to the Construction industry -Concentrated Construction service industry focus - Code focusses only on construction industry and its processes (as distinct to ISO applicable to all types of businesses products and services).

Reflects current World ‘best practice’ management systems concepts, whilst at the same time integrating modern (ISO) thinking.

Main focussed on key services delivery/operational aspects rather than organisational aspects.

Seamlessly integrates Safety, Environmental and Quality aspects – No repetition of element aspects as seen previously.

Requires annual audit to all elements and completion of site audit checklist of specific aspects – much tighter than typical ISO audits.
