All of our personnel are familiar with all the current OH&S requirements, and conducting regular Take Time Talks and developing Job Hazard Analysis documents forms part of our day-to-day routines.
We also have a team of administration staff who are experienced in organising minesite mobilisation paperwork and ensuring the entire team comply with site access requirements including current police clearances, medicals and drug & alcohol screens.
Our active apprenticeship training program, in partnership with John Paul College & Goldfields Baptist College has enabled us to bring two new people into the construction industry in as many years. We have been fortunate enough to have received certificates of recognition from John Paul College & Goldfields Baptist College in light of our ongoing apprentice and work placement relationship.
