We believe that to effectively drive a positive safety culture and achieve our vision of zero harm to our workers, there needs to be a stringent approach to risk management and a strong commitment from our leadership group.
We expect, without exception, our leadership group across all levels of the organisation to:
be accountable for compliance within their areas of responsibilities.
We recognise that to effectively manage risk that all workers are equipped with the knowledge to identify and mitigate risks and as such, training and workforce communication represents an integral component of our risk mitigation programme.
