We’re dedicated to the safety of
our people, customers, community and
our network. Our teams work around
the clock near active railway lines and
heavy machinery so we must take every
precaution to ensure the job can be
done safely and maintain the safety
of rail operations.
We’ve continued to work hard to
strengthen our safety results this year.
As well as constantly reviewing and
improving our safety systems, we’ve
introduced a number of new safety
initiatives to ensure we embed a culture
of safety through active leadership.
Our Safety Management System is
accredited under the Rail Safety Act 2006
and we voluntarily participate in system
audits by our Work Health and Safety
Regulator. We also engage with Comcare
and the Office of the National Rail Safety
Regulator who regulate us to ensure that
our system meets legal requirements and
effectively prevents injury.
This demonstration of our value of
No Harm is now integral to everything we
do. As a result of this focus we have been
rewarded with our lowest ever LTIFR and
a number of other achievements outlined
in this report.
