Occupational Health and Safety Management system is a vital part of the tree industry and we are committed to undertaking best practice in OH&S. Plateau Tree Service was successful in achieving the full level of premium discount available through the WorkCover Premium Discount Scheme (PDS) and following completion of the PDS, looked for the next step in improving our occupational health and safety management System.
In recognition of the importance of comprehensive occupational health and safety management, Plateau Tree Service applied for and achieved formal accreditation of our Safety Management system with Benchmark Certification to Standard AS4801.
We continue to develop and measure our own occupational health and safety performance. Our rate of claims and lost time due to injuries compares favourably against the industry standard and our manatgement of the risks associated with our work continues to improve.
Communication and training of our staff is constant and on-going. We hold monthly, full team meetings at our depot covering OH&S issues. Our weekly tool box meetings held on-site, also incorporate safety topics.
Plateau Tree Service has developed a industry-leading safety culture and which we believe works to ensure that our staff and customers are protected from the risks and hazards of our operations.
