Safety in the Workplace

Our first priority is to ensure your continued safety and wellbeing. In line with this priority, we expect every one of you to actively work towards creating a safe workplace, and to minimise the risk of injury to yourself, your colleagues and members of the public.

Workplace Safety

You are required to work within all relevant statutory regulations, guidelines, industry codes of practice and the Occupational Health and Safety Act.  We ask that you are committed to improving the safety consciousness of those around you by:

  • Accepting safety as your responsibility.
  • Cooperating with others to assist in the improvement of safety practices and issues in the workplace.
  • Taking firm but polite action to resolve safety concerns which occur, when necessary firstly with the client Supervisor, then with your Recruitment Consultant.

We believe that no single business practice is more important than the safety of our valued employees and those working around them. Remember: your attitude to safety will make a difference!

Please refer to the Occupational Health and Safety information provided to you by your Recruitment Consultant prior to commencing an assignment with us. If you have not received this information, or if you have any questions please contact your Recruitment Consultant.

All our casuals and contractors (excluding proprietary limited, unit trusts, family trusts or partnerships) are covered for Workers Compensation insurance.

Things to consider in the Workplace

You play an enormous role in the delivery of quality service, and we therefore expect you to meet our basic standards of conduct in the workplace:

  • Ensure that you are working safely. If you have any concerns, address them through the appropriate channels.
  • Mobile phones should be turned off and messages checked only during your break. If in extenuating circumstances you need to have your mobile switched on, please discuss with your Supervisor.
  • Please observe the company policy on personal e-mail, internet, telephone and fax usage.
  • Present yourself in appropriate attire.
  • Complete all relevant documentation on time (ie. employment forms, timesheets etc.)
