HSSE Policy
Z Contractor HSSE Induction V2
HSSE matters
Z is committed to striving to achieve a Zero Harm workplace for all.
That means safety first – Work safe, Home safe.
• To achieve this we need your commitment as well. It is important to
us that all managers, supervisors, and workers think and behave in a
safe manner to prevent harm to themselves and others.
• All workers are authorised to stop work if they are have a health
and safety concern about the work they are doing.
• If there is any doubt as to whether an activity is safe; stop, assess
and determine the required action to make it safe. Contact your
supervisor.
HSSE reporting
Contact your supervisor and report: hazards (potential incident), near
misses, and incidents. We need to learn from these to prevent harm to
a worker in the future.
• Potential incident - Unsafe practices or hazardous situations that
could result in an incident (incident has not occurred)
• Near Miss - Incidents that that under slightly different circumstances
could have caused illness, injury or damage to assets, the environment
or company reputation, but did not (incident has not occurred)
• Incident with Consequences - Actual incidents, also known as
accidents, are events or a series of events that result in illness, injury or
damage to assets, the environment or company reputation.
