Demonstrating safety culture and leadership

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, safety, and wellbeing so we can help our people and clients thrive.

Here are some of the ways in which we demonstrate our safety culture and leadership:

Diversity of experience

Our Health, Safety, and Wellbeing 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.

Continual improvement and learning

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.

Health, safety, and wellbeing interactions

Our commitment to continual learning and improving extends to all at Aurecon. We are collectively transforming our health, safety, and wellbeing culture and performance by encouraging everyone to take part in guardUs Interactions – our engagement activities aimed at verifying and improving our health, safety, and wellbeing controls. We are also encouraging everyone to make their participation both personal and visible.

My Life Savings Rules

This internal program helps our people build an understanding of the controls they must have in place to keep safe when undertaking some of the most common high-risk activities relevant to Aurecon. This includes looking beyond the traditional construction risks, which is why we have included everyday issues like driving, working alone and mental health.

Our health and safety management system

We underpin our strong health, safety, and wellbeing 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, safety, and wellbeing issues across all work we undertake

Expertise and resources to implement and maintain our health, safety, and wellbeing 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, safety, wellbeing and continual improvement
