Safety Policy

Stephenson Transport acknowledges the obligations of the employers’ general duty of care under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1995, and as such is committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for all employees. This commitment extends to all locations employees are required to visit in order to undertake their duties.

It is the Policy of Stephenson Transport that no person will undertake any function, duty or task where that person believes they do not have the necessary knowledge or skills to perform the function, duty or task in a safe and healthy manner, or the performance of the function, duty or task places at harm or risk the individual or any other person.

The primary objective of the Safety Policy is to achieve an injury frequency rate of ZERO Lost Time Injuries.

To ensure this objective is achieved and maintained Stephenson Transport will implement a Safety Plan and provide all personnel with training, safety information and Personnel Protective Equipment, and incorporate wherever possible measures to eliminate risks to personnel health and safety. We will ensure all our employees understand fully our safety policy and will ensure that all employees are fully aware and comply with current Occupational Health and Safety standards.
