Commitment to Safety
We strongly believe a safe business is a key performance indicator of a well run and successful business. Safety is a very important priority, aligned with our Company Value of “we genuinely care”.
We have a number of safety initiatives in place, aligned to our philosophy of “my brother’s keeper”. We have a trained “Safety Officer” at each of our sites, who works closely with the Manager and team as the “safety champion”.
We conduct monthly site safety audits, provide on-line safety training across the business, provide monthly bulletins on an important safety topic and regularly review our safety practices.
