Health

We provide all employees and sub-contractors with a healthy working environment. We ensure that our workforce is fit for duty and monitor our people’s health in job-related risks. We actively promote a healthy working lifestyle through our sites, yards and offices.

Safety

Ensuring the safety of our employees, sub-contractors, clients, and members of the public is of paramount importance. Therefore, all employees and sub-contractors who work with us must demonstrate safe behaviours every day.

We take responsibility for safety through proper planning and by taking the time to carry out necessary assessments. We stop operations, immediately react to unsafe practice and operate within the limits and capacity of our work equipment and plant. We continuously seek to improve on best practice and address lessons learned.

A high percentage of our operational work sites are setup in close vicinity to members of the public. To ensure that we continually protect members of the public from our site hazards, we employ only trained Street Work Operators and Supervisors and maintain a high Supervisor to Gang ratio to monitor works continuously.

Our Environmental Policy drives compliance with current environmental legislative requirements for each geographic area that we operate. Environmental objectives are set and driven by the Directing Team to ensure continual improvement.
