At Aurecon, we weave health and safety into how we do business at every level.
By prioritising the health of our people, we build a firm foundation for thriving together. Combined with a strong safety culture and leadership, a healthy and engaged workforce means we can achieve optimal performance for Aurecon and our clients. Our strong safety system and processes support everyone to make Aurecon and our project sites safe and healthy places to work and thrive.
We aim to leave a positive and lasting impact on the projects we undertake, prioritising safety throughout the entire project lifecycle.
The physical and psychological health and safety of our people are fundamental pillars in Aurecon’s strategy to build a sustainable business. They underpin everything we do and reflect in our everyday actions and business decisions.
Aurecon’s Health and Safety team is leading in creating a workplace that helps our people proactively manage their health and provides them with the right skills, leadership and tools to take ownership of health and safety on any project site.
At Aurecon, we promote a safe and inclusive environment through these initiatives:
Employee Assistance Program – To support our people to proactively care for their health, Aurecon offers a free Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to all employees and their immediate family members.
Safe working from home support – Get advice and support to ensure your working from home environment is safe and healthy.
Service awards – Receive gift vouchers to celebrate your key service milestones with us.
We believe everyone plays a role in making Aurecon and our project sites safe and healthy places to work and thrive. Our leaders constantly seek ways to lead, demonstrate, and communicate positive safety behaviours. At the heart of this is a deep commitment to continually learning and improving how we approach health and safety so we can help our people and clients thrive.
Here are some of the ways in which we demonstrate our safety culture and leadership:
Our Health and Safety team has diverse skillsets across the markets and geographies we serve. Through these skillsets, we add value to our projects by allowing us to quickly access the specific capabilities needed for any project. It also means we can quickly tailor the right mix of skills to meet the specific challenges of any situation.
We encourage a culture of transparency and continuous improvement by emphasising the importance of proactively reporting on and learning from high potential incidents and near misses. Our incident reporting system allows us to capture valuable information about near misses, high potential incidents, and potential hazards. We thoroughly investigate each incident, identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions to prevent recurrence. This commitment to learning from incidents helps us build a safer and more resilient organisation.
Our commitment to continual learning and improving extends to all at Aurecon. We are collectively transforming our health and safety culture and performance by encouraging everyone to take part in guardUs Interactions – our engagement activities aimed at verifying and improving our health and safety controls. We are also encouraging everyone to make their participation both personal and visible.
We underpin our strong health and safety culture with a targeted and responsive health and safety governance framework and management system.
Our health and safety management system aligns with international legislative standards and regulations – and the needs of our clients. The system, certified to ISO 45001.2018, integrates safety into every aspect of our operations, from the initial conversation with our clients, through to project design, planning, and delivery. We use this process to identify, assess, evaluate, and control health and safety risks associated with Aurecon’s work.
Through application of our health and safety management system, our goal is to provide:
A safe and healthy work environment for everyone associated with Aurecon
Practical tools and techniques for use in the assessment and consideration of health and safety issues across all work we undertake
Expertise and resources to implement and maintain our health and safety policies, standards and procedures
Health and safety management processes to anyone working on an Aurecon project to assist in eliminating hazards; preventing incidents; assessing, managing, controlling and reducing risk; comprehensively managing injury and rehabilitation; promoting health and safety and continual improvement
Our commitment to supporting our people to build on their resilience and thrive together by promoting their physical and psychological health and safety has seen us receive the following awards and recognition:
