FOUL-mouthed tirades and sexists slurs will be stamped out on construction sites in a zero-tolerance crackdown on the outdated and unlawful behaviour. Construction watchdog Australian Building and Construction Commission boss Stephen McBurney says highly-offensive, highly-sexist behaviour will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted. I absolutely reject this notion that the building and construction industry should be held to a different standard than other workplaces in Australia, or that giving someone a highly offensive, highly sexist spray is acceptable, he said. We also have an issue of a relatively low proportion of construction workers being female and it s unacceptable for them to be exposed to this type of behaviour.
