An important element of DMC Safety Management System (SMS) is the Safety Management Plan (SMP). This incorporates 40 chapters which provide clear guidelines to Project Management crew’s on their responsibilities for various aspects of our SMS.
The SEQ Department carry out regular internal audits of their projects to ensure the SMP is being followed on all sites. Any findings are transferred onto the site Corrective Action Register and closed off when the finding has been actioned.
Recent examples of our OHS initiatives and design innovations, include;
- Front End Loader Kibble Bucket
- Re-new and modification of Site Containers
- Introduction and Implementation of APE Mobile Paperless Application
- Fall Arrest Platform
- Gantry cranes in site containers
- Pipe laying mandrel
We are committed to the mantra of “continual improvement” and believe we can always further develop our systems to ensure they meet the needs of our employees and clients. We take pride in the positive SEQ culture we have generated within our company.
Look out for more of our future Safety achievements. Our SEQ and operational team are committed to maintaining the highest OHS standards.
