Safety Policy

Aotea Group Holdings Ltd and associated companies are committed to creating an environment that promotes employee, visitor and contractor health and safety. This will be achieved by:

  • Ensuring vehicles, equipment, properties and work sites are designed, operated and maintained in a safe condition.
  • Compliance with health and safety-related legislation and codes of practice is considered a minimum.
  • Safeguarding employees, visitors and contractors from unnecessary hazards; and where such hazards cannot be eliminated or isolated, the exposure will be minimised.
  • Timely and accurate reporting and investigation of accidents, incidents and new hazards.
  • Encouraging the participation and consultation of all employees.
  • Adopting a process of continuous improvement.
  • Clearly defining employee and employer responsibilities
  • Expecting staff use safe methods to protect "work mates", the public and themselves.
