The safety of our employees, contractors and customers is the most important part of our business.
Our goal is to ensure all employees and visitors are safe from injury and risks to health while at work. Our lost time injury target is zero. Lost Time Injuries
A lost time injury is when an employee is absent from work for a full shift as a result of a work related injury.
Across our three facilities, we achieved a consolidated Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) for 2005/06 of 3.24. Independently, our Osborne submarine facility, Western Australia facility and Osborne shipbuilding facility obtained 208, 729 and 819 days respectively of continuous days free of lost time injuries. Continuous Improvement
As part of our commitment to the continuous improvement of ASC's health and safety performance, a hierarchy of control measures are used to identify hazards and manage risk exposure, including the:
Healthy Plus Program
Our Healthy Plus Program is a company-wide initative designed to educate our employees on ways in which they can take better care of themselves. The initiative seeks to promote various health concerns, including quit smoking, blood donations, skin cancer awareness, flu vaccinations, blood pressure / cholesterol checks and diabetes checks, and provide education and support for dealing with them. Our Healthy Plus Program recognises that many health issues not only have the potential to impact on our safety performance, but can also cause community issues and consequently impact on our ability to contribute to the development of our nation. |
