Quality Management
A system of Quality Management will be incorporated into your project to ensure we consistently deliver a high quality product.
This system has been developed to identify specific aspects of the AS 9001 system which provide the essential controls necessary to provide a high degree of product quality. These extracts are known as the Protocol System.
This system forms the core of essential quality functions carried out on all projects. It is a simple “hands on” approach to getting the quality right and has been used very successfully on projects as a stand alone system.
Key aspects of the system are:
- Establishing schedules of submissions;
- Establishing quality standards through prototyping of first works;
- Inspection of works;
- Use of a nonconformance reporting system;
- Use of RTI, RFI, document control and sample control systems; and
- Involvement by all project parties in the quality process.
It provides a short form quality control system geared specifically to meet your needs as the client.
Company Safety Policy
The welfare of our employees, contractors, subcontractors, customers, consultants, visitors and the general public is our first priority. We rely on this as do our families.
“Nothing is more important than Health and Safety.”
We believe that all accidents and injuries are preventable, and that good safety is good business. Our reputation and profitability depend upon our ability to manage our operations safely.
Our Safety Management System aims directly at providing this safe work environment.
Responsibility for Health and Safety
The most important ingredient in accident prevention is the desire and action of each worker to willingly adopt safe work methods and comply with all safety requirements.
Safety requires a cooperative effort and is everybody’s business.
As Company Directors we are determined to prevent accidents and personal injury by maintaining a very high standard of safety at all of our workplaces.
Both directly and through our subcontractors, we will provide the environment, equipment, systems and personnel to promote a healthy and accident free workplace.
Existing Facilities
Many of our clients will also have policies and procedures relating to workplace health and safety in their own business. Existing procedures or requirements specific to the industry or unique work environment, will be respected and incorporated into our safe systems of work.
We have demonstrated our ability and commitment through successfully managing complex works in a variety of locations and environments. This has required extensive planning to ensure the safety of other employees, contractors, customers, visitors and the general public.
Through teamwork, planning and construction methodology the work was able to be successfully completed with minimal disruption to the client’s activities.
