Health and Safety
McKay operates a comprehensive health and safety (HS) system, which has been rewarded with ACC WSMP Tertiary Level Accreditation. McKay has an in house HS co-ordinator and external HS advisors to provide specialist input.
A well functioning, company wide, health and safety system is critical to McKay's success. McKay has been at the forefront in health and safety for a number of years, and has a comprehensive Health, Safety and Environment Manual forms a backbone to McKays HS polices and procedures.
For medium and large projects, particularly greenfield or brownfield, we develop specific HS plans, usually in conjunction with the head contractor, other site contractors, and the client.
For specific execution of trade specific tasks, we will utilise our HSE system to develop JSAs for each task executed on site.
We can provide a copy of our HSE manual, an example JSA, and HS statistics on request.
McKay's key HS objectives are:
- Undertake accident and incident trend analysis to identify training needs for injury prevention.
- Ensure managers and/or HSE team are trained in areas identified through accident and incident trends.
- Ensure all new employees have induction on their first workday comprising hazards, emergency procedures, reporting processes and HSE questionnaire. During their first week all other HSE procedures to be covered.
- All departments to carry out monthly workplace inspections.
- Keep *TRCF to below 10 with best endeavours to reduce to zero.
- All accidents and incidents to be recorded with 24 hours, and investigated within 7 days.
- Ensure that all sub-contractors fill out and sign the Sub-Contractors HSE Evaluation Form prior to commencement of work.
- Ensure that all sub-contractors have the appropriate PPE suitable for their work, and that they are made aware of our company evacuation procedure.
- All electrical equipment leads to have current tag.
*TRCF – Total Recordable Case Frequency. This is calculated as follows:-
Qty of LTIs and MTCs x 1,000,000 Total Man Hours |
