We believe that all injuries are preventable, and regard safety as a major priority and part of the QAL culture. As such, we have committed ourselves to creating an injury free workplace whereby everyone - employees, contractors and visitors alike, go home safe and healthy each day.

Good health and safety management is vital to our business, it runs through everything we do. All our employees are accountable for their safety performance, and excellent performance is always recognised, acknowledged, published and promoted. 

This vision relies on a range of systems and management tools in place to identify and reduce or eliminate risks, report and investigate incidents and monitor and improve individual safety behaviour in order

 to achieve a zero incident working environment.

World Class Standards

QAL operates under mandatory standards for Health and Safety and is accredited to the Australian Standard AS/NZS 4801:2001 and the International Standard OHSAS 18001:1999.

These standards are checked annually by a rigorous audit process and constantly updated in the light of new knowledge and experience. We believe that these standards have been a considerable factor in the reduction in the number of injuries across our business.

Values and Behaviours

The cornerstone of our safety strategy is based around our leadership behaviours, and we insist on a tangible commitment to the well being of all our employees above all other considerations.  At QAL, nothing is important than the health and safety of our employees and contactors working on site.

Risk Management

All risks are managed and safe operating parameters for process and equipment are always used and carefully maintained. Risk Management occurs at every step of planning process – from HAZOP analysis to Job Safety & Environment Analysis (JSEA) at task assignment)
