“EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO A SAFE AND HEALTHY WORKPLACE OUR OBJECTIVE THEREFORE, IS TO ATTAIN ZERO INCIDENTS.”

To achieve this objective, this statement of policy and the associated standards must influence all our daily activities and decisions; Effluent Services is committed to keeping all people free from harm while working.  Safety is everyone’s responsibility and a condition of employment. 

It is our attitude that a safe work environment is the only acceptable environment and that all associated illness and injury is preventable.

We endorse excellence in Health and Safety Management; and accomplish this by:

  Recognising and ensuring compliance with our duties as an employer under Health and Safety legislation, standards, regulations, codes of practice, and standard operating procedures.

  Recognising the duties of employees under the Health and Safety legislation, and provide the necessary systems to enable employees to be responsible for being safe at work, and not to cause harm to themselves or others.

  Where applicable, hold other third parties accountable for adhering to our Health and Safety Policy and systems, while recognizing our responsibility to other third parties to keep them safe from harm arising directly from our business operations.

  Providing resources, training, staff inductions, accident prevention programs, facilities and other tools to ensure our Health and Safety systems are effective.

  Ensuring accurate and timely reporting and recording of incident occurrences.
