What can I improve with this policy?

The objectives of this policy are to:

achieve a safe workplace with zero harm to the environment;

ensure a permanent Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) presence in project planning and work activities;

involve workers in the decision-making process through regular communication and consultation;

ensure workers identify and control risks, impacts and aspects in the workplace, so far as is reasonably practicable;

monitor and review the elimination or control of potential risks, as far as reasonably practicable; and

enhance workers' EHS knowledge through a program of education and training.

The success of our EHS management depends on:

the commitment of all workers and stakeholders to achieving our objectives;

effectively planning work activities;

undertaking risk management processes in an effective manner; and

communication and consultation between our workers and stakeholders.

To achieve this, we will be committed to:

demonstrating visible and active leadership at all levels of the organisation;

ensuring we have EHS systems, procedures, and training in place and a framework for our objectives;

empowering our workers to take control of their own safety and wellbeing;

eliminating hazards and harm, and reducing EHS risks and impacts;

promoting a proactive and systematic risk-based approach to the continuous improvement of EHS including psychological health and safety;

complying with and encouraging awareness of relevant legislation and our EHS management systems, and fulfilling legal and other requirements;

maintaining an inclusive culture where all workers demonstrate a genuine commitment to EHS;

supporting psychological wellbeing via our Employee Assistance Program and other initiatives;

fostering effective consultation and participation of workers and stakeholders,

seeking to continuously improve our EHS and system performance through regular monitoring and senior management review; and

distributing and communicating WHS information to relevant workers and stakeholders
