Over the past 12 months we have had an excellent result from an Occupational Health & Safety viewpoint. We have had no lost time injuries (LTI) or medical lost time injuries (MLTI). There were no notifiable incidents to ACT Workcover.
We have had four external audits on our Occupational Health & Safety system, one AS/NZ 4801 audit and three Federal Safety Commission audits. Three of the audits had one minor Corrective Action Report each and out last Federal Safety Commission audit had no Corrective Action Report.
We also won a major award at the Safe Work ACT Awards – “Best Workplace Health & Safety Management System”. These awards were conducted by ACT Workcover. As a result of winning this award we are an entrant in the national awards.
