SAFETY Month at ATIVO a great success
Friday, March 13, 2009
ATIVO is pleased to announce that ATIVO employee Terry Saxon is the winner of the ATIVO Safety Month Quiz competition, held as a part of the SKILLED Group Safety Month celebrations.
SKILLED Group’s annual awareness campaign Safety Month, is held every year with a series of promotions and initiatives which highlight and reinforce our commitment to Safety to our employees and clients.
Terry’s winning suggestion on how to improve safety at his worksite, Castricum in VIC , ‘Communication’ was very well received. As part of its commitment to safety in the workplace, ATIVO takes its communications to employees very seriously. Structured employee induction programs and OHS training is designed to ensure each employee has a full awareness and understands all of their safety obligations as well as equal opportunity matters in the workplace. All employees undergo consistent OHS training through safety talks and safety observations. Terry wins a Leatherman Multitool worth over $150.
ATIVO’s Executive General Manager Michael Olsen is thrilled with the level of participation demonstrated by employees for Safety Month this year: “In April 2009 ATIVO achieved a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of only 2.57, which a great testament to our employees, staff and clients commitment to working safely. We will continue to keep communicating about safety issues as we strive for our goal of zero harm” he said.
Our 2 runners up in the ATIVO Safety Month Quiz are from our Pacific Relines office in Cairns QLD – Congratulations to Louis Coleman and Tony Ayliffe who win an ATIVO deck chair and a picnic blanket.
