We are firmly committed to a policy enabling all work activities to be carried out safely, to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all employees, contractors, authorised visitors, and anyone else who may be affected by our operations.
We are committed to ensuring we comply with the Workplace Heath and Safety Act 1995, the Workplace Health and Safety Regulations 1998 and applicable codes of practice and Australian Standards as far as possible.
We will achieve this by:
- Providing a safe working environment and safe systems of work
- Maintaining plant and substances in safe condition
- Information, instruction, training and supervision that is reasonably necessary to ensure that each employee is safe from injury and risks to health
- A commitment to consult and co-operate with employees in all matters relating to health and safety in the workplace
- A commitment to continually improve our performance through effective safety management.
Each employee has an obligation to:
- Comply with safe work practices, with the intent of avoiding injury to themselves and others and damage to plant and equipment
- Take reasonable care of their own health and safety and the health and safety of others
- Wear personal protective equipment and clothing where necessary
- Comply with any direction given by management in relation to health and safety
- Not misuse or interfere with anything provided in the interest of health and safety
- Report all accidents and incidents on the job immediately, no matter how trivial
- Report all known or observed hazards to their supervisor or manager.
Application of this Policy
We seek the co-operation of all employees, clients and visitors. We encourage suggestions in realizing our health and safety objectives to create a safe working environment with a zero accident rate.
This policy applies to all business operations and functions, including those situations where employees are required to work off-site.
