At AAco, safety comes first.

The safety of AAco employees, contractors, suppliers, customers and visitors is a foremost business priority. AAco’s overarching aim is to maintain an excellent safety performance which meets legislative requirements and best practice industry standards. At AAco, safety is everyone’s responsibility, and requires the active participation of all individuals on AAco sites.

We are dedicated to achieving our goal of excellence in health and safety through:

• A consultation process which seeks involvement from staff and management throughout all facets of the business. All AAco sites have WHS Committees which schedule regular meetings with all staff, to ensure the effective sharing of information, issues and ideas.
• Effective measurement and reporting on safety performance. Safety is a key business performance indicator, and safety performance is reported at management, senior management and board levels.
• A risk management approach which focuses on identifying, assessing, addressing and reviewing risks to health and safety. AAco’s program provides a formal process of hazard identification, risk assessments and scheduled auditing of the health and safety system.
• The reporting of all incidents involving staff, contractors or visitors to site, to ensure that actions can be taken to prevent recurrence of these. Our commitment to health and safety has resulted in a continual year-on-year reduction in reported incidents.
• Best practice workplace rehabilitation systems and processes, which are a feature of all AAco sites. AAco provides a supportive environment for injured workers, with a strong focus on early and sustainable return to work.

AAco is committed to the continual improvement of its health and safety program, and strives to be a leader within the industry.
