Occupational health and safety is a priority for Leighton and our safety record is a key competitive advantage.

We are committed to providing a safe, healthy and positive working environment for our employees and those under our care.

Our aim is to eliminate all class one accidents (an accident that results in fatality or permanently alters a person's life) and to minimise, and ultimately eliminate, all lost-time accidents on our sites.

We hold international standard OHSAS18001 accreditation for our safety management systems in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

Safety management committees, comprising senior and middle management, are responsible for monitoring safety performance in each country. The committees undertake monthly safety audits of every project to ensure their compliance with the safety policy.

Every site employee must undergo a safety induction prior to commencing work.

Many of our projects have achieved millions of man-hours without lost-time injuries.
