Stornoway achieves national accreditation
Posted on 18 May, 2011 in Stornoway News
Stornoway is now federally accredited for occupational health and safety (OHS) with the Federal Safety Commissioner (FSC).
Under the Building and Construction Industry Improvement Act, any company that provides building and construction services to the Federal government over a certain value must be nationally accredited for OHS.
State Road Maintenance Contracts managed by the Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources (DIER) in Tasmania are federally funded, making national accreditation a requirement for any company delivering these services.
Stornoway currently manages the North-West contract and is preferred tenderer for the North East contract commencing 1 July this year.
The accreditation process was in two stages. The first involved a ‘desk-top’ assessment looking at our OHS management system, workplace safety record, audit results and risk management structure and capability. The second stage involves an on-site audit by a Federal Safety Officer.
Managing Director, Tim Gardner, was delighted to receive the news on Stornoway’s accreditation.
“Stornoway takes workplace safety and the health and wellbeing of our staff, contractors and customers very seriously. I’m proud to have this national accreditation in place, which reflects our commitment to occupational health and safety.”
