Safety Management

AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS AND CODES OF PRACTICE

GBE Group carries out our electrical works to AS3000 and local service rules. All statutory testing is carried out to the required Australian Standards and WorkCover requirements.

Our employees are trained and made aware of applicable standards and codes of practice.

Australian Standards and Codes of Practice are kept in our office library and on our online Service Management System. This is as per our safety and Management System requirements.

WHS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

The Management of GBE Group places the highest priority on the promotion of a healthy and safe work environment. We aim for the prevention of injury and have implemented an Occupational Health and Safety Management Plan.

This plan is constantly being expanded, audited and reviewed in accordance with our Safesite 2000 plan. In 2005, it was modified to make use of the latest in technological advances. Our new online service management system includes an WHS module.

The online module gives access to forms SWMS’s and risk assessments to our employees via a Smartphone and NextG network. This provides us with QA time stamped documents that are accessible to our clients via a client web interface.

We have successfully completed a 3 year Audit process by AW Workwise for the Workers Compensation Premium Discount Scheme

In 2009, we have completed further audits; including the Master Electricians and Electrical contractors Association audits, CM3 WHS and Environmental Audit and an audit in December by AW Workwise.

We continually use these audit results to assist in the improvement of our WHS and Environmental systems and shall continue to strive for continual improvement.
