Health & Safety Performance
Safety is paramount to the success of the
business. The company is committed to
providing a safe working environment so
that everyone goes home without harm
at the end of every day and that this is not
just a lip service set of words, i.e. we walk
the talk with visible leadership.
2012/2013 Progress
The company's safety statistics
were similar to last year with a slight
improvement in LTIFR and RIFR as
shown in the graph below.
Our results for hazard and near
miss reporting have shown substantial
improvements this year increasing by
151% percent. Improved results in the
lead indicators are welcome as they assist
the company in finding and rectifying
any safety issues before they become
accidents.
Seven Pillars of Safety
Our Seven Pillars of Safety remains at the
core of our safety management program:
1. Committed and visible safety
leadership at all levels of
the business
2. All persons take ownership of safety
and are held accountable by their
manager for breaches
3. Consistent understanding and
application of systems
4. An effective safety structure
5. Risks arising from changed
circumstances are recognised
and controlled
6. All risks associated with high
consequence activities are
eliminated or reduced by
application of physical controls
7. A one team approach on safety
with clients, joint venture partners
and subcontractors
Developed and driven by senior
management, these actions are focussed
on delivering a step change in safety
performance.
Health & Safety, Environment and Quality
At the start of Q3 FY13, the company commenced a new centralised
structure called HSEQ, which runs the functions of health & safety,
environment, sustainability, quality, management systems, tendering and
training support to operations, and internal audit function for the Group.
Headed by an executive of the group, the
structure has been centralised to drive a
one company, one culture approach to our
responsibilities in these areas. The aim of
the new structure is to improve performance
and provide; clearer direction, a risk and
project focus, greater assurance, enhanced
systems, better knowledge management,
stream-lined management systems and
to ensure operational understanding
and application throughout the business.
The leadership team consists of:
· Executive General Manager ­ HSEQ
· Group Safety Manager
· Group Environment Manager
· Group Quality Manager
· Group Management Systems &
Knowledge Manager
· Group Audit Manager
· Group Tendering & Training Manager.
