Work Health and Safety Policy

Vorick Group Asset Maintenance Pty Limited (Vorick Group) provides electrical services, maintenance and construction across NSW. We are committed to the health and safety of our workers, our clients, the people at the places we work, including students at schools, and the public.

Our Commitments

• Eliminate risks to health and safety where we reasonably can, and otherwise minimise them using the hierarchy of control.
• Comply with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), the Work Health and Safety Regulation (NSW), the codes of practice and standards that apply to our work, and our clients' site rules.
• Plan high-risk work with safe work method statements, and check the hazards at the start of every job.
• Make sure our people are licensed, trained and supervised for the work they do, and that their licences and clearances stay current. Our staff licences register tracks them.
• Provide safe plant, tools and equipment that are inspected, tested and tagged, and the right personal protective equipment.
• Consult our workers on safety and act on what they raise. Anyone can stop work that isn't safe.
• Report and investigate incidents and near misses, notify SafeWork NSW when the law requires it, and fix the cause.
• Support injured workers to recover and return to work.
• Keep children safe at schools and other places with children, including working with children checks for every worker on those sites.

Responsibilities

• Directors and the nominated supervisor provide the resources, systems and supervision for safe work, and lead by example.
• The person in charge on each site makes sure the work is planned, the SWMS is followed and hazards are controlled.
• Workers take reasonable care of their own safety and that of others, follow procedures and instructions, use the PPE provided, and report hazards, incidents and injuries straight away.
• Subcontractors and visitors follow this policy and the site rules.

Review

We review this policy and our safety system at least every two years, and sooner when the law, our work or our clients' requirements change.
