WHS Management System & Safe Work Procedures
Structured under Safe Work Australia guidelines and state WHS legislation.
WHS Management System (WHSMS)
Documented policies, procedures, and responsibilities governing all company operations, reviewed annually and aligned with ISO 45001:2018.
Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS)
High-risk construction activities require signed SWMS identifying specific hazards, control measures, responsible persons, and emergency contingencies before mobilisation.
Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
Task-level JSAs break down non-routine or unusual operational activities into step-by-step risk control measures.
Take 5 & Daily Pre-Start Assessments
Dynamic pre-start risk assessments performed on site each morning and whenever weather, personnel, or site conditions change.
Working at Heights & Tower Rigging Safety
Zero tolerance for unprotected exposure at height.
100% Tie-Off Policy
Strict mandatory requirement for dual lanyards with energy absorbers connected at all times when working above 2 metres or climbing masts.
Tower Rigging Safety Standards
Strict compliance with AS/NZS 1891 series, verified anchor points, rated headframe rigging, and certified capstan winch setups.
Tower Rescue & Emergency Response Plans
Documented site-specific rescue plans with trained rescue personnel and dedicated rescue kits on site whenever riggers are aloft.
Elevating Work Platforms (EWP)
All EWP operators hold current WP High Risk Licences, harness anchor inspection logs, and designated ground rescue observers.
Technical Hazard Controls: RF, Electrical & Lifting
Managing invisible and high-energy hazards with precision.
RF & EME Exposure Management
Personal Radman RF monitors worn by all personnel working within electromagnetic emission zones; coordination with carrier Network Operations Centres (NOC) for antenna down-powering.
Electrical Safety & Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
Strict isolation procedures compliant with AS/NZS 3000, multi-meter zero-energy verification, and locking devices on all main switchboards and DC power rectifiers.
Lifting & Rigging Safety
Certified doggers and riggers overseeing every crane pick and winch pull, adhering to AS 2550 lift plans, ground bearing capacity checks, and wind limit thresholds.
PPE Compliance Standards
Mandatory AS/NZS compliant PPE: high-visibility clothing, safety boots, certified climbing helmets with chin straps, eye and hearing protection, and RF shielding suits where required.
Hazard Reporting, Toolbox Meetings & Continuous Oversight
Empowering every worker with a voice and stop-work authority.
Incident & Near-Miss Reporting
Non-punitive reporting system encouraging proactive notification of potential hazards and close calls before they manifest as harm.
Hazard Identification & Risk Hierarchy
Elimination and engineering controls prioritised over administrative rules and personal protective equipment.
Safety Inspections & Toolbox Meetings
Daily morning pre-start briefings and weekly formal toolbox talks reviewing site-specific challenges, carrier safety alerts, and industry bulletins.
Workforce Safety Training & Competency
Rigorous competency verification ensuring every crew member holds valid high-risk licences, rescue accreditation, and carrier inductions before stepping foot on site.
Unconditional Stop Work Authority
Every employee, rigger, contractor, and site visitor has the absolute right and obligation to halt any activity immediately if safety, isolation, or environmental conditions are in doubt. Work resumes only when all participants agree conditions are safe. Zero blame, backed unconditionally by executive leadership.
