Safety and environmental champions

Here at Major Projects Group we are supporting the National Safe Work Month.

A national campaign run by Safe Work Australia.

 

“This is a time to reflect on our strong commitment to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all stakeholders, and not just this month, but every month. We believe a safer and healthier workplace is achieved through continuous communication with our work teams including subcontractors, volunteers, visitors and other stakeholders.”

Week 1 – Safety Management

This image is our version of the Safety Management poster distributed by SafeWork NSW. Our projects and workshops have held toolbox style consultative meetings to discuss the purpose of the poster and to maximise our processes around the identification of hazards, the development and implementation of controls and the constant review and monitoring of hazards through open two-way communications with all relevant stakeholders. 

Week 2 – Seven Components of Work Health & Safety

Week 3 – Toolbox talks

During the first 3 weeks of this National Safety month, National Manager – HSEQ Scott Wyatt has been visiting our teams across our offices, workshops and projects, as well as meeting with our volunteers from the Major Projects Foundation. As part of those conversations and in support of the Safe Work NSW campaign, our company wants to recognise Safety and Environmental Champions. 

Week 4 – Safety and Environmental Champions  

As we close out the National Safety month of October, Major Projects Group would like to recognise our first Safety and Environmental Champions.
