RESPONSIBILITIES

We recognise that the overall responsibility to provide a safe workplace rests with management, who will be accountable for the implementation of this policy.  These responsibilities include –

  • providing and maintaining all workplaces in a safe condition;
  • ensuring that all OH&S policies and procedures are implemented;
  • actively promoting and being involved in those policies and procedures; and

We are committed to encouraging consultation and co-operation between management and employees, and will formally involve elected employee health and safety representatives in any workplace change or any matters that may affect the health and safety of employees in any workplace.
