(b) The lead contractor Salini Impregilo - NRW Joint Venture (SI-NRW) is responsible for the preparation of Safe Work Method Statements related to the Forrestfield-Airport Link project. Safe Work Method Statements are drafted by the workforce undertaking the task and reviewed by the site supervisor. The PTA conducts regular audits of the Safe Work Method Statements.
(c) The risk register relates to the ongoing management of the commercial contract to build the Forrestfield-Airport Link (FAL). Noting that the Opposition continue to refuse the release of the FAL business case, consideration can be given to releasing the register once the terms of the contract have been fulfilled.
