Safety Policy

At Walkom Constructions, safety is at the core of everything we do. We are committed to providing a safe working environment for our team, subcontractors, clients, and the communities in which we operate.

Our Commitment

We believe that all incidents are preventable. Through proactive planning, continuous training, and strict adherence to safety protocols, we aim to achieve and maintain zero harm on every project.

Our commitment includes:

  • Complying with all relevant Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation, regulations, and codes of practice.
  • Identifying and managing risks through regular inspections and risk assessments.
  • Providing ongoing training to ensure our team is equipped with up-to-date safety knowledge and practices.
  • Promoting a culture of safety, accountability, and care across all levels of our organisation.
  • Ensuring all equipment, tools, and materials are used and maintained in a safe and appropriate manner.
  • Conducting incident reporting and reviews to continuously improve safety performance.

Team Responsibility

Every team member at Walkom Constructions plays a vital role in maintaining a safe work environment. We empower our staff and subcontractors to:

  • Take responsibility for their own safety and the safety of those around them.
  • Speak up and report any unsafe conditions, behaviours, or incidents immediately.
  • Follow site-specific safety plans and wear required PPE at all times.

Client & Community Safety

We also take proactive steps to ensure the safety of our clients and the general public throughout the course of construction, particularly on residential and high-traffic sites. Clear communication, signage, and secure boundaries are implemented to minimise disruption and risk.

Continuous Improvement

Safety is never static. We regularly review and improve our policies, systems, and procedures to meet the evolving demands of construction safety standards and best practices.

Walkom Constructions is proud to uphold a strong safety culture while delivering quality results across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter, and Central Coast regions.
