  • All employees must be an active part of their respective site and depot safety committees. Regular toolbox meetings must be conducted, and all managers and employees are encouraged to have a say in the safety concerns of the worksites and depots.

Environment

Protecting the environment is our responsibility. Our company policy clearly states that we must minimise the risk to the environment from any of our work activities at all times. For environmental improvements, we often consider issues that are otherwise not given much importance. All environmental breaches must be minimised to protect the environment and the company's reputation.

Environmental protection policies include, but are not necessarily limited to:

  • Minimising stripping and erosion
  • Recycling and salvaging of construction material
  • Salvaging and re-using topsoil
  • Minimising waste and reworking activities
