Under the Health and Safety in Employment Act (1992) everybody is responsible for their own actions including safety, and the safety of others, and that their action or inaction does not cause any harm.  Council is very serious about its responsibilities for the health and safety of all Contractors while on any Council work site.  We aim to keep people free from harm and we expect all Contractors to take the necessary precautions to ensure all work is carried out safely.

All Contractors must comply with Council’s “Approved Contractor Scheme” prior to being engaged for any work.  This involves providing Council with a sample of their health & safety documentation/manual to provide a “snapshot” of their understanding and compliance with the HASE Act 1992.  A contractor's approval status is valid for two years and they are then required to provide updated copies of the documentation to ensure ongoing maintenance of their H&S systems.
