Safety Package & Policies
Byrnecut uses a computer based safety database (BSAFEWEB) as the core of its Safety Management System. BSAFEWEB incorporates a formal risk assessment used to identify key areas for improvement and justify corrective actions.
The system is used to:
- Record accident investigations
- Produce occupational health and safety statistics
- Record safety meeting minutes and track completion of action items
- List and record planned inspections
- Provide access to controlled documents, individual site procedures, general procedures and Training Resource Manuals
- Provide access to personnel training records, certificates and appointments for all procedures and machinery operation tickets
- Provide a link to ChemWatch for all material safety data sheets
- Track, record and manage details of all workers compensation cases
- Provides access to external details on significant incidents, Minesafe Articles and Safety Bulletins
- Access Australian Standards
The Byrnecut Systematic Auditing for Excellence (BSAFE) system was developed in conjunction with Curtin University as an auditing tool for safety.
- The BSAFE system was a finalist in the National Safety and Health Innovation Awards conducted by the Minerals Council of Australia
- Three BSAFE audits are conducted at each site per year to track safety and quality performance at all sites
- BSAFE audits generate action lists designed to ensure sites comply with OH&S Standards
- Senior management review each audit and highlight areas of most concern
The introduction of BSAFEWEB and the BSAFE audit system has had a positive impact on Byrnecut, with regard to both the company's performance on safety and quality issues and more importantly, our employee's attitude toward occupational health and safety.
