• Providing and implementing health, safety and wellbeing related systems, procedures, information, instruction, training and supervision that are appropriate given the nature and scale of our operation, work undertaken and the associated hazards and risks
• Communicating effectively and ensuring that team members and other relevant people are adequately consulted in relation to matters affecting their health, safety and wellbeing

• Provide and support mental and physical health and wellbeing initiatives
• Keeping adequate records relating to worker and key stakeholder health, safety and wellbeing
