Safety Philosophy

We take pride in our safety programs and are dedicated to ensuring a safe and healthy work environment for employees, contractors, customers, and suppliers, as safety is central to the Dowdens Group culture.

Safety is of Paramount Importance

Occupational Health and Safety is of paramount importance to the continued wellbeing of all personnel attending a Dowdens Group workplace or site. There is a shared belief across all levels of our business units, that every incident, and therefore every injury, is preventable.

Our OHS policy is based on the following principles:

  • All occupational injuries and illnesses are preventable.
  • No job is so important or urgent that it cannot be done safely.
  • An incident and injury free project is achievable.

“If it’s not safe, stop the job and make it safe.”

Every Dowdens Group employee has a right to stop working if they feel it is unsafe to continue.

Ongoing Training Programs

The Dowdens Group safety philosophy is embedded in every Dowdens Group project and worksite through a combination of technical field procedures and ongoing training programs. Our approach to implementing new or improved standards, processes and procedures help us achieve safer and more environmentally friendly outcomes. Our Health, Safety and Environmental goals and policies are vital and integral elements of our business. Our safety-focused management systems and processes influence everything we do.

The Dowdens Group is committed to a programme of continuous safety improvement. We are actively reinvigorating our management systems and engaging our personnel, contractors and suppliers so that their expectations are aligned with ours.

Our dedication to safety helps keep our employees and those around them safe, while benefiting our clients. Fewer injuries means operating costs are reduced and productivity remains high.

We are committed to ensuring every worker goes home to their family safely at the end of each working day.

WORK SAFE – HOME SAFE
