Occupational Health & Safety
Aiming for excellence
The Bank recognises its obligations in ensuring excellence when it comes to preserving the well-being, health and safety of its employees, contractors and customers.
We have developed a health and safety management system that is integrated with organisational activities and that evolves to reflect changes in the business.
We consult with employees, contractors and customers on health and safety matters to promote involvement and maintain the Bank's legislative obligation.
Our commitment
To achieve this initiative, the Bank is committed to:
- Continuous improvement in health and safety performance
- A safe work environment that manages risk in a systematic fashion
- Establishing clear targets and objectives on an annual basis to improve heath and safety in the workplace
- Assigning accountability throughout the organisation to achieve health and safety targets and objectives
- Allocating adequate resources to allow responsible officers, managers and employees to meet recognised objectives
- Providing safe plant and equipment
- Ensuring employees are provided with training to develop adequate skills and knowledge to promote collective responsibility to health and safety
- Providing supervision and leadership to ensure tasks are completed safely and without risk to employees, contractors and the public
- Effective dissemination of OH&S information to all employees through such agendas as Employee Forum Groups, OH&S Committees, Vision Network and the Intranet
- Providing rehabilitation and workers compensation systems that enhance the safe and speedy return to work of employees suffering from a work-related injury or disease
The Bank's health and safety policies and procedures reflect required performance standards and risk management practices. They are designed to assist in the management and implementation of an effective health and safety program.
The Bank will continue to monitor and maintain the integrity and effectiveness of these systems, standards, policies and procedures to ensure they reflect the requirements of relevant health, safety and allied legislation. Further, reports detailing overall health and safety performance and progress given to the Bank's working environment will also be provided to the Group's Principal Board on a quarterly basis.
