Health, safety, environment and quality

Plan carefully. Work responsibly.

Project-specific requirements are reviewed before work begins. Draft templates are not audited, certified or evidence of completed implementation.

Our commitment

Health and safety are fundamental to responsible civil construction.

Elevation Six recognises that health and safety are fundamental to responsible civil construction. Work must be planned and carried out with appropriate hazard identification, risk assessment, site coordination, training, supervision and controls suited to the task.

Project-specific safety requirements will be reviewed before work starts, including the principal contractor’s site rules, applicable legislation, worker competency requirements and relevant work procedures.
