Accumix is committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees and all others affected by our Operations. We believe that a safe business is a good business. Our mechanisms for achieving this are detailed in our Health and Safety Policy Document.
What sets Accumix apart from our competitors in the management of health and safety is the extent and depth of our active monitoring programme. The traditional approach of reactive monitoring (recording accidents and incidents) only measures where things have gone wrong. The active monitoring programme we work to provides information on the effectiveness of our systems and hence allows us to identify potential weaknesses before they result in accidents. This is achieved through regular monitoring of our sites by safety specialists WA Management who undertake management audits and site Inspections.
This allows Accumix to be a committed and responsible employer who will:
- Promote a positive culture of health and safety to all staff;
- Support the development of skills and knowledge throughout the company;
- Monitor performance and provide specialist advice through our safety advisors.
