Over the years we have made good progress in installing a positive safety culture and we have significantly reduced lost time injury rates nationally.

DuPont’s view of Much Asphalt
There are some indications of an independent culture at Much Asphalt and even early signs of a tendency towards inter -dependence as seen in an emerging team approach to safety responsibility that is developing at certain sites.
However there is also a strong reliance on punitive measures to enforce operating discipline which is often necessary but has the potential of keeping the culture at the dependent level if the organisation does not find a more mature approach to progressive motivation.

Safety Culture
After suffering a series of significant incidents in the workplace, we soon realised that we have not been able to adequately address key factors that underpin our safety performance and culture.
Cannot continue with same actions taken in the past
Drastic measures needed to be taken

Much Asphalt then aspired to become OHSAS accredited. As an accredited member, all branches had to live up to the standards and operate in this framework.
This provided great sense of direction and uniformity among the branches – Same vision for everybody
All documentation was standardized
The implementation of a good Safety Quality Management System gave rise to new aspirations, greater heights, greater achievements that underpinned the Much Asphalt branding:
“….Together we can…”
