Safety policy

Safety policy

Safety is an important issue which concern us all. We believe that our OHS&R policy statement (Occupational Health Safety & Rehabilitation) is a guide in achieving a safe environment for all involved.

 The health, safety and welfare of all employees, contractors, and members of the public is of the utmost importance to us in achieving a safe working environment.

 It is the responsibility of every employee and contractor to be mindful of members of the public, their fellow workers and themselves when working to prevent accidents or injuries.

 It is the obligation of all employees and contractors to identify and report any unsafe or hazardous conditions, either in the system of work or in the facilities provided.

Only through close attention and the monitoring of systems of work, correct use of machinery and equipment and the careful selection, training, and direction of people can accidents be prevented and public liability exposures minimised.

Please read the OHS&R policy statement

 If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us for further information and expert advice.
