Policies
Workplace Health & Safety Policy
Wherever we work we must make sure that we maintain a safe, healthy and sustainable working environment and promote a positive culture.
To achieve this all our people are empowered to continually improve our safety systems, safety culture and overall safety performance.
To do this, we will consult and work with relevant stakeholders, including the local community on relevant issues which affect their safety, in order to develop and effectively implement safety management systems that meet or exceed community expectations and all applicable legislative requirements, codes of practice and standards.
Our people are not only responsible for their own safety but also that of their fellow workers, our customers and the broader community in relation to our business activities.
It is the responsibility of all our people to comply with the safety systems and processes that support this policy and to identify hazards and manage risks effectively.
