Our goal is to prevent all occupational injuries and illness. The company will seek to achieve this by:

Providing instruction, training and supervision to improve individual's understanding of workplace hazards, including safe work practices and emergency procedures
Involving individuals in occupational health and safety matters and consulting with them on ways to recognise, evaluate and control workplace hazards
Ensuring that everyone (including visitors and contractors) complies with appropriate standards and workplace directions to protect their own and others health and safety at work
Providing adequate systems and resources to effectively manage rehabilitation and return to work processes

Lachlan’s will implement and maintain an ongoing occupational health and safety program, including conducting regular inspections of the workplace aimed at preventing accidents and incidents.
