Start to work safely

Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in our projects.

PPE is anything used or worn by a worker to assist to reduce health and safety risks. PPE is important but shouldn’t be relied on as the only way to address WHS risks.


Take reasonable care of your own health and safety and that of others in the workplace including ensuring your acts and omissions don’t adversely affect others health and safety.

Comply with any reasonable instructions, policies and procedure given by your PCBU at the workplace, so far as is reasonably able to.
