Occupational Health and Safety Policy

Goulburn Valley Water provides water and wastewater services to domestic, commercial and industrial customers in the Goulburn Valley region.

In accordance with our Sustainability Policy the Corporation is committed to continual improvement of occupational health & safety management to prevent work related injuries and illness and to provide a safe and healthy work environment for our employees, contractors, customers and visitors.

We will achieve this through:

• consultation and cooperation between management, employees and health & safety representatives;

• supporting health and safety at all organisational levels;

• complying with legislative requirements and current industry standards;

• maintaining an OH&S Management System which embraces the principles of the standard AS 4801;

• regularly reviewing and updating our corporate occupational health & safety objectives and targets.

Senior management will communicate this policy to our staff, customers and stakeholders and the policy will be available on Goulburn Valley Water’s internet site.
