At Workfast, we are committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy working environment for all workers, contractors, visitors, and stakeholders. Our Work Health and Safety (WHS) management is integrated within our certified Integrated Management System (IMS), which complies with ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems Standard, as well as all relevant Australian WHS legislation. We recognise that the safety, health, and wellbeing of our people is fundamental to our success. To achieve this,
Workfast is committed to:
- Providing Safe and Health Workplaces: ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for the prevention of work-related injury and ill health, appropriate to the purpose, size, and context of our organisation, and to the specific nature of our WHS risks and opportunities.
- Eliminating Hazards and Reducing Risks: identifying, assessing, and eliminating physical and psychosocial hazards and reducing WHS risks through effective systems of work, risk management processes, and the provision of adequate resources.
- Legal and Regulatory Compliance: complying with the letter and spirit of all applicable WHS legislation, regulations, codes of practice, and other requirements relevant to our operations.
- Leadership and Accountability: making workplace safety an integral part of every managerial and supervisory role, with managers and supervisors responsible for implementing and maintaining effective safety systems.
- Consultation and Participation: actively consulting with and encouraging the participation of all workers and their representatives in WHS matters, recognising that effective consultation is essential for a safe workplace.
- Training and Communication: ensuring all workers, contractors, and visitors are provided with appropriate WHS information, instruction, training, and supervision, and that the IMS is documented, implemented, maintained, and communicated so it is understood at all levels of the organisation.
- Continuous Improvement: continually improving our IMS and WHS performance by setting measurable objectives and targets, monitoring and reviewing our performance, and implementing improvements as required.
- Responsibility for All: requiring all workers and contractors to carry out their duties in a safe and responsible manner, follow all relevant safety instructions, and promptly report any hazards, incidents, or risks.
This policy statement is communicated to all workers and made available to interested parties and the public. It is reviewed regularly to ensure its ongoing relevance, appropriateness, and effectiveness. Everyone at Workfast shares responsibility for health and safety, ensuring that every individual returns home safe and well every day.
