• Safety is our first priority
• We will not budget for injuries
• Working safely is a condition of employment
• No shortcuts when it comes to safety
• Management and Team Leaders demonstrate leadership in Health & Safety
• Employees and contractors take ownership of safety by not accepting unsafe behaviour from anyone

So, as the health and safety of everyone is our first priority, we:

• Make health and safety an integral part of the duties of everyone in TransGrid, including contractors;
• Develop our work procedures and training requirements co-operatively so that risks can be identified and managed effectively;
• Expect everyone in TransGrid to know and comply with our agreed Health and Safety System and programs;
• Change any work procedures or task requirements that threaten health or safety and learn from any mistakes;
• Regularly review our work procedures and training programs to ensure they are consistent with best practice for health and safety;
• Continually look for, encourage and recognise better work practices in the interest of health and safety; and
• Have established OHS committees to represent all employees of TransGrid to ensure that health and safety standards are maintained.
