Our Commitment
At Queensland Rail, one of our core values is that we Act safely. Our vision is Safety Comes First. Always. Our commitments are:
Accountability - we take personal accountability for not only our own safety, but of those around us, including our team members and customers, this is not negotiable;
Planning - we plan work understanding safety comes first - always;
Capability - we continually aim to make our workplaces safer through understanding data and learning from our experiences;
Leadership - we all provide visible safety leadership and never walk past an unsafe act; and
Innovation - We foster innovation to find new ways to improve safety and we align our capital investment to strategic safety outcomes.
These commitments are supported through the delivery of key activities aligned
to four strategic safety enablers, these being, Leadership, Learning,
Capability and Risk Reduction.
What we will do
In order to deliver this commitment, we will:
identify and manage our safety risks, inclusive of physical and psychosocial safety, by using an established hierarchy of controls;
comply with all relevant safety laws and implement systems that meet these requirements;
lead by example to implement safety improvement programs to drive continuous risk reduction and improved safety outcomes for our colleagues, customers and communities;
establish measurable safety targets and improve performance against those targets;
provide training, education and awareness to develop the capability of our people;
effectively consult with affected persons about decisions that impact their safety and ensure that all relevant safety information is effectively disseminated;
continually improve our Safety and Environment Management System and the capability of those who drive its implementation;
actively develop, promote and maintain a culture where people choose to be safe;
be fit for duty and not start or continue work where it is not safe to do so; and
promote health and safety within Queensland Rail and extend this ethos to the communities in which we live and work.
