1000 Days LTI Free
1000 Days LTI Free
AE Smith continues to claim Safety Milestones |
| 14 Jun 2009 |
| The last few months has seen further positive advances against Company Safety Milestones with AE Smith Service in Victoria breaking through the 1000 Loss Time Injury (LTI) Free Days Milestone in March. Victorian Service General Manager Peter McCarthy congratulated his team at a celebration event last month, who now joins the ranks of previous 1000 LTI Free Day achievers: Tasmania Construction, Building Technologies and Corporate Office. Success abounds this year with Townsville, Gold Coast & Tasmania Service branches joining with Mackay in passing the greater than 500 LTI Free Days milestone. At the Project level the RACAH AE Smith/AG Coombs Joint Venture has picked up two “Best on Ground” safety awards at the new Royal Children’s Hospital project in Melbourne. These ‘BoG’ awards are presented by the principal contractor Bovis Lend Lease in recognition for innovation and best practice in on-site safety endeavours. And there is more… Brisbane site manager Neil “Zac” Pennycook can add another achievement to his list after picking up the quarterly ‘IIF’ award, again by Bovis Lend Lease, for his contribution to keeping the 275 George Street project ‘Incident & Injury Free’. AE Smith National Safety Manager, Danny O’Reilly, is obviously very pleased with the recognition various branches are earning: “There are always plenty of distractions if you are not solidly focused on Safety, so these achievements means our training is paying off,” he says. “We are looking forward to implementing our next training focus which will address ‘sprains & strains’ at our workplaces. “When we conduct specific training and incident analysis – such as the recent focus on prevention of lacerations – we really notice success in prevention of those type of injuries,” says Danny. Watch this space for updates and progress reports. For more information on safety issues and training, contact Danny O’Reilly on +61 (0)413 153 838. |
