We ensure all our contractors uphold the highest health and safety standards, including our contractors who undertake high-risk work.
How we ensure our contractors' health and safety
We are committed to working with our contractors to ensure their health and safety.
All contractors undertaking work for us must declare their health and safety performance.

Contractors must have an adequate health and safety management system that includes:
- safe systems of work

- have the appropriate resources, knowledge, and expertise
- have had their health and safety system appraised against an acceptable external standard (prequalification).
- have valid external accreditation, such as AS/NZ 4801 or OHSAS 18001 and valid prequalification agents.
