Occupational Health and Safety Management Policy
Ward Civil and Environmental Engineering’s greatest asset is the people who work for it. The Company has been built up by and continues to rely upon these people at all levels within the organisation, be they salaried staff, wages personnel or subcontractors. In recognition of this, and as a sign of its commitment, the company has developed an Occupational Health and Safety Management System to comply with, statutory regulations, the Standard AS/NZS 4801:2001 and linked to the company’s Business Management System.
The company places the highest importance in preventing accidents and occupational illnesses together with the promotion of good health at the workplace environment and sets as its goal the elimination of serious injuries and the continual reduction of working time lost due to injuries to our employees and our subcontractor’s employees. This goal will be achieved by the identification of the risks associated with our work activities and by the development of safe work methods in consultation with all personnel to nullify them. All personnel are then to abide by these procedures.
The company undertakes to provide adequate provisions for the health and safety of its employees at all times. The Company further undertakes, as far as is reasonably practicable, to protect members of the public and other persons from potential dangers of work procedures.
The Company will provide adequate facilities for consultation with employees and the relevant information and training to ensure safe methods of work.
The Company is committed to obtaining expert advice and guidance when necessary in health and safety matters and relies on the support of everyone in the workplace to achieve the objectives of this safety policy.
Ward Civil and Environmental Engineering employees and subcontractor’s employees are required to abide by safe work procedures and to act in accordance with their responsibilities to prevent injury and ill health to either themselves and/or their fellow workers.
Nothing is so important that a safe way of doing it cannot be found. This safety policy is subject to regular review and will be amended as required based on findings from the process of continual hazard identification.
