Our vision: We will be the No. 1 aggregates company in Australia, supported by first-class premixed concrete and aggregates products and logistics operations.
Our values: Hanson Australia is people, committed to success and customers through safety, high performance, a sense of ownership, innovation as well as respect and integrity.
Safety is our number one priority. We aim for ‘Zero Harm,’ based on the premise that there is no job we undertake that is so important, we cannot take the time to find a safe way to do it.
A strong safety culture at Hanson has allowed us to maintain an improvement trend across all major safety indicators, including Lost Time Injuries.
This has also been achieved by:
- Putting safety first.
- Respecting the environment.
- Utilising available safety equipment, clothing and procedures and ensuring employees follow security, safety and emergency procedures and policies at all times.
- Maintaining high standards of tidiness and ‘housekeeping’ and avoiding conflict or incidence of horseplay.
- Treating equipment with care and reporting damage or deterioration.
- Being aware of our work environment and reporting any safety issues.
- Ensuring employees are responsible for their safety and that of others.
Health and Safety Committees are also operational at all of our sites and comprised of both employees and managers. They ensure that Hanson’s comprehensive Integrated Risk Management System (IRMS) is adhered to and all safety policies, procedures and systems are both monitored and improved upon.
Hanson’s viability depends on each employee striving for improvement and working to the best of their ability. High performance at Hanson means we strongly encourage our employees to:
- Undertake tasks and responsibilities in a timely manner.
- Perform their responsibilities to the best of their ability.
- Utilise work hours and Hanson resources productively.
- Seek and be receptive to, a better way of doing a job.
We believe our employees contribute to the positive reputation developed by Hanson. A sense of ownership means we also encourage employees to:
