Health And Safety

Occupational Health & Wellbeing

A healthy workforce is a safer, happier, and more productive workforce.

Altaris Engineering is fully committed to protecting the physical and mental wellbeing of our employees, contractors, subcontractors, and everyone involved in our operations.

Our projects often involve demanding construction and engineering activities, including road works, building construction, telecommunications mast installation, civil engineering, excavation, lifting operations, working at height, and the use of specialised equipment. We therefore take a proactive approach to identifying and managing occupational health risks.

We continuously work to improve our health and safety practices through training, education, risk assessment, site inspections, safe systems of work, and ongoing engagement with our workforce.

Safety Is Everyone's Responsibility

At Altaris Engineering, safety is not simply a requirement; it is a fundamental part of our culture. Every employee, contractor, supplier, and project partner has a responsibility to contribute to a safe working environment.

Before work begins, we identify potential hazards and implement appropriate control measures to minimise risks. Our teams are expected to follow established procedures, use the correct personal protective equipment (PPE), and report unsafe conditions or incidents promptly.

• ✓ Risk Management: Identifying hazards and implementing effective control measures.
• ✓ Training & Competence: Ensuring our workforce has the knowledge and skills required to work safely.
• ✓ Personal Protective Equipment: Providing and promoting the appropriate PPE for our activities.
• ✓ Site Safety: Maintaining safe and well-managed construction and engineering sites.
• ✓ Incident Prevention: Learning from hazards, near misses, incidents, and observations to continually improve.
• ✓ Public Safety: Protecting members of the public and communities around our project sites.

Make Safety Personal

Our goal is to achieve Zero Harm across all our operations.

We believe that no project, deadline, or commercial objective is more important than the safety of our people and the communities in which we operate.

Our Zero Harm approach applies across all areas of our business, including road construction, residential and commercial buildings, telecommunications infrastructure, mast installation, civil engineering, maintenance, and other specialist construction activities.

We are committed to protecting:

• Our employees and site personnel
• Clients, contractors, and business partners
• Suppliers and subcontractors
• Members of the public and local communities
• The environment and surrounding ecosystems
• The infrastructure and assets entrusted to us

Nothing we do is so important that it cannot be done safely. We encourage everyone working with Altaris Engineering to take personal responsibility for safety, speak up when they see a potential hazard, and never compromise safety for speed or convenience.

Environmental Responsibility

As a construction and engineering company, we recognise our responsibility to minimise the environmental impact of our activities. We aim to use resources responsibly, reduce waste, prevent pollution, and protect the communities and environments surrounding our projects.

Our commitment to responsible construction extends from the planning and design stages through to construction, installation, maintenance, and completion. We continuously seek practical ways to improve our environmental performance while delivering quality infrastructure for our clients.

Our Commitment

At Altaris Engineering, we are committed to building more than roads, homes, telecommunications infrastructure, and other structures. We are committed to building a culture where health, safety, quality, and environmental responsibility come first.

Through strong leadership, continuous training, effective planning, and the active involvement of our workforce, we will continue to improve our safety performance and deliver projects that our clients, employees, and communities can be proud of.
