WorkSafe Platinum Certificate of Achievement in order to demonstrate its commitment to SEQ throughout the whole organisation. This was following the previous years (2015) initial achievement in being awarded Gold status.

3. APE (Applied Project Experience) Mobile Paperless Application
The APE (Applied Project Experience) Mobile system allows DM Civil site management personnel (Project Managers, Construction Managers, Supervisors, Engineers, Contract Managers, SEQ, etc) to access to all of DM Civil’s forms, management plans, procedures, policies, drawings, sketches, and any other required documentation for use as part of its Safety, Environment and Quality Assurance Integrated Management System. This system covers all projects and departments. This system assists the Integrated Management Systems (IMS) by increasing the accessibility of current DMC documentation in the field. The interactive forms also reduce the quantity of hard copy documents stored on site and documents being transported from site to the office and vice versa. DM Civil recognises the importance of occupational health and safety as an integral part of our operations. DM Civil achieved certification to AS/NZS 4801:2001 - OSH Management Systems in 2007. DMC has maintained this accreditation without a single nonconformance report being raised against its system during the past nine years by external auditors Bureau Veritas. An important element of DM Civil’s Safety Management System (SMS) is the Safety Management Plan (SMP). This incorporates 40 chapters which provide clear guidelines to Project Management crews on their responsibilities for various aspects of our SMS. The Safety, Environmental & Quality (SEQ) Department carry out regular internal audits of their projects to ensure the Safety Management Plan 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. DM Civil’s SMS has been designed and fully integrated with both Environmental and Quality management systems to suit its operations and company activities. DM Civil on the majority of occasions is the main contractor on projects, this also means high levels of management and interaction with subcontractors, suppliers, clients and other involved third parties. DM Civil’s ongoing commitment to improving its systems and the manner to which the works are conducted both safely and productively also aids in the growth of the Civil Construction industry especially within the local and West Australian sector. Where a contractor finds a safer, better or more productive way of completing works then this eventually has a flow on effect across this industry. 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. DM Civil management understand that in order to progress and keep up with the industry standards, then it must continually improve. We take pride in the positive SEQ culture we have generated in our company.

As SEQ Manager, Ryan has built the Department to a team of 6 full-time employees, dedicated to improving the coverage and integration of SEQ and training responsibilities whilst still ensuring compliance with internal, client and regulatory standards.

Under his management, the SEQ Department has been able to achieve a constructive relationship with all levels of personnel.

The department aims to positively instruct, inform and empower personnel on their SEQ obligations and responsibilities.

They too, are fully recognised as part of this award for their continued support and dedication.

FINALIST: Best Workplace Safety and Health Management System

DM Civil has been a finalist in this category for 2014, 2015 and now 2016. Every year we have made continual improvements to our management systems that has been worthy of nominating again.

Three (3) examples of recent significant initiatives undertaken by DM Civil

1. Weights Guide Booklet and Lift Charts

Our General Manager – Engineering created a system, which enabled operators to obtain vital lifting information in relation to the plant being operated and the item/s being lifted.

The following two documents were created:

Weights Guide booklet – the 20+ page document provides a multitude of weights of small plant / equipment and construction material likely to be encountered on any DM Civil project)
Excavator Static Lift Chart & Mobile (Pick & Carry) Lift Chart – provides lifting restrictions and limitations for all Excavators in the DM Civil fleet.

This new process was communicated to all site based personnel through the quarterly Site Communications Meetings held by the SEQ Manager & a Managing Director.
