Safety Management (Risk Management)
Canberra Contractors’ workplace health and safety system is focused on ensuring that anyone working with us remains free from harm and understands the role they play in ensuring their own safety and the safety of others in the workplace.
In January 2016, Canberra Contractors reset the benchmark level for best practice in the civil construction industry by achieving ISO31000 ‘Risk Management’ certification and extending the scope of CC’s ISOO9001, ISO14001 and AS4801 certifications.
This total risk management approach was developed in response to the Gateway Review Process for strong project governance arrangements and was designed to improve project safety, delivery and risk management by incorporating the principles of risk management as identified in the International Risk Management Standard-AS/NZS ISO31000 2018 Risk Management – Principles and Guidelines.
