Health and Safety

We acknowledge that the provision of a safe and healthy workplace for all employees, contractors and visitors is not just a moral and legal responsibility, but also a prerequisite for us to achieve our mission of conducting demolition work to the highest possible standard.

We use an internal Management System which ensures that we have audited systems in place that protect our clients, our employees and the general public. Our On-Site Workplace Health, Safety, Rehabilitation & Environmental Management Plan is built around the continuous improvement of our safety policies, processes and procedures.

Sustainability and Environmental Protection

We are acutely aware of the impact our industry has on landfill and the environment. Our recycle and reuse strategy aims to reduce the volume of waste diverted to landfill. By recycling and reusing items such as steel, copper, aluminium, glass, rubble, insulation, timber, brick and concrete, soil, furniture, carpet and gyprock, we are proactively minimising the impact of our industry on the environment.

We endeavour to re-use, salvage or recycle as much demolition material as possible in order to prevent excessive waste being tipped at landfill facilities. To accomplish this, we are committed to the implementation, and continual improvement of our Environmental Management System within all levels of our organisation.

We have completed a number of Green Star Rating projects, achieving up to an 80% reduction of the waste from the demolition process reaching landfill. This has enabled our clients to achieve the maximum 6 Star Green Rating on their projects. Our approach is vital to your overall project rating, as demolition waste can consist of up to 80% of the entire waste produced on a project. We can provide you with an analysis of waste and recycling during the tender, project or post-project stages.

On site, we sort demolition waste into separate bins or trolleys and recycle material wherever possible. In the office, we separate and recycle bottles and cans, paper and cardboard, plastics and batteries.

Equal Opportunity and Diversity

We are an equal opportunity employer and aim to provide a workplace that fosters acceptance and respect for diversity, free from discrimination, harassment and violence, and actively promote and seek to achieve gender equality throughout the business. We are committed to providing a positive working environment free from intimidation, threats, ridicule, bullying, harassment and physical violence.

COVID-19…

We have, like everyone else, been impacted by the arrival of COVID-19. Under the health and safety legislation as a business, we understand that we have a duty of care to manage the risks of COVID-19 entering or spreading in our workplaces. We understand that we may not be able to eliminate the risk completely, instead we will consider other ways to reduce the risk as far as reasonably practicable.

In line with NSW Government and NSW Health directions, we have implemented policies and procedures and a COVID-19 Safety Plan to help every person in the workplace to identify exactly what actions we will need to take to put in place suitable and effective controls to manage COVID-19 in the workplace. We will also maintain, and regularly review our control measures to ensure they remain effective. This Plan will be updated in accordance with any changes to public health directions.

On site, we have implemented the following procedures:

Site Specific COVID-19 Safety Plan
Daily Pre-start Tool Box Talk and sign off by site staff to confirm they don’t have COVID-19 symptoms
Temperature Testing prior to entering the site
Provision of hand sanitiser
Monitor compliance with all COVID-19 safety measures, including wearing a face mask, social distancing, surveillance testing, vaccination requirements and travel permit requirements

We’re officially registered as a COVID Safe business.
