Worker Consultation

Workers at TJ will be consulted and engaged regularly regarding health
and safety arrangements for the work they undertake as their support
to the company’s policies and procedures is vital.

Safety representatives and workers can contribute positively in achieving the desired outcomes
by:

Indicating whether activities can be carried out safely
Help TJ develop sound practical ideas and solutions to further health and safety.
