Renata has been working on a diploma in construction workplace health and safety. This is a massive asset to the GT Group. Every project requires a SSSP written and submitted before work can start. Renata writes all of these and it is signed off by the local owner. All team members to sign onto it before starting work on that site. Simple yet effective system.
Prevention by understanding, recording information given, setting expectations, investigating incidents, are the sections of H&S that we see to be the important points. The back of house H&S is undertaken by GT NZ for you. The local owner is always 100% responsible for ensuring a safe and healthy workplace for all employees and the public.
One area we haven’t spent a lot of time yet is in the mental health arena. There goes a topic for 2022. The last few years with the global pandemic has added to what is for some a stressful life. There are a few groups like Mates in construction who specialise in the mental health of construction workers. They might be a group to get involved with. I mention this because we are always striving to be the best we can. There will always be areas to improve, and I want you to know that we will always be seeking our areas we can grow and be better.
