Z Contractor HSSE Induction V2

3. HSSE matters
Z is committed to striving to achieve a Zero Harm workplace for all.
That means safety first – Work safe, Home safe.
To achieve this we need your commitment as well. It is important to us that all managers, supervisors, and workers think and behave in a safe manner to prevent harm to themselves and others.
All workers are authorised to stop work if they are have a health and safety concern about the work they are doing.
If there is any doubt as to whether an activity is safe; stop, assess and determine the required action to make it safe. Contact your supervisor.

4. HSSE reporting
Contact your supervisor and report: hazards (potential incident), near misses, and incidents. We need to learn from these to prevent harm to a worker in the future.
Potential incident - Unsafe practices or hazardous situations that could result in an incident (incident has not occurred)
Near Miss - Incidents that that under slightly different circumstances could have caused illness, injury or damage to assets, the environment or company reputation, but did not (incident has not occurred)
Incident with Consequences - Actual incidents, also known as accidents, are events or a series of events that result in illness, injury or damage to assets, the environment or company reputation.
