Mining & Civil Australia Pty Ltd (MACA) is a privately owned West Australian company whose objective is to provide a quality safety, health and environmental management system for the workplace.

To achieve this objective, MACA will:

• Ensure that processes are implemented and continuously reviewed to identify hazards, and to assess risks associated with hazards so that control options are managed to eliminate or reduce the risk to the lowest possible ranking;
• Promote and encourage a culture where all employees are proactively maintaining a safe and healthy workplace, including active promotion of safe work practices;
• Endorse the principles of relevant legislation, standards and best practice that impact on the operation and work environment;
• Ensure adequate resources to develop, implement, monitor and review safety and environmental management systems;
• Strive to prevent pollution and seek continual improvement with respect to emissions, discharges, wastes, energy efficiency, resource consumption and overall environmental footprint;
• Support employees in understanding the principles of this policy.

This is how we are going to do it:

• Introduce employees to company culture through a comprehensive induction process with ongoing exposure to health, safety and environmental information and knowledge through electronic, written and oral media;
• Implement and continually review work practices and procedures to prevent injury to employees, equipment damage and environmental impacts;
• Ensure information and knowledge acquired from internal and external sources is made freely available and disseminated through inductions, training, safety noticeboards, intranet, safety representatives, committees and meetings;
• Effectively investigate all incidents to fully understand the root causes to prevent reoccurrence of events and implement preventative actions;
• Conduct regular inspections, audits and review, then promptly follow up with compliance actions;
• Establish measurable objectives and targets to promote a positive safety and environmental culture; and
• Continue to review and improve the Safety and Environmental Management Systems.
