Across our operations, health, safety, quality and environmental considerations are integrated into everyday decision-making. Our systems provide the framework, while our people and culture bring them to life.
At the heart of this approach is our Keeping Our Mates Safe (KOMS) philosophy, which reflects our commitment to looking after ourselves and our workmates in everything we do.
Safety
Safety is at the heart of everything we do.
Our Keeping Our Mates Safe (KOMS) Framework brings our KOMS philosophy to life with practical initiatives that are embedded in our system and processes. These initiatives help strengthen our safety culture and empower our people to actively contribute to a safe workplace.
Supported by practical systems and visible leadership, we work collaboratively to identify and manage risks, share learnings and continuously improve the way we work.
Our Health and Safety Management System is certified to ISO 45001 and provides a structured framework for managing health and safety risks and opportunities across our operations.
Health and Wellbeing
We recognise that health extends beyond physical safety and plays an important role in helping our people perform at their best.
At Whittens, we understand that behind every role is a person, and we are committed to supporting the physical, mental and psychosocial health and wellbeing of our people.
Through initiatives that support fitness for work, fatigue management, occupational health, and mental health awareness, we create workplaces where people feel supported, connected and able to thrive.
By partnering with MATES in Construction and taking a proactive approach to managing psychosocial risks, we continue to strengthen the support available to our people.
