The primary objective of the Regional Aviation Group Safety Management Policy is to ensure
a safe workplace free from risk while preserving operational capability. I reinforce my commitment to the implementation and
promotion of a safe and healthy workplace environment.
The health and safety of the Regional Aviation Group’s employees is paramount.
This is afforded also to contractors and visitors to any of our facilities. The Regional Aviation Group consigns prominence
on a safe workplace and understands the legal and moral obligation of ‘duty of care’.
Management responsibility for the safety and health of our personnel is intrinsic to all Regional
Aviation Group operations and endeavours.
Managers at all levels are charged to implement measures to ensure:
- A safety focus is maintained in parallel with operational outcomes;
- Regional Aviation Safety Committee members take a pro-active approach to reducing the incidence of injuries in
the workplace;
- Safety Management Systems operate effectively in accordance with direction from the Group Manager of Safety, Standards
and Quality systems;
- That all equipment and substances being introduced into the Regional Aviation Group workplace are subject to risk
assessment and that control measures are implemented to mitigate associated risk;
- Risk Management procedures are integrated into the planning and conduct of all
operations, training, administrative activities and for the control of hazards in the workplace;
- Personnel hold appropriate qualifications and certification of competency for
conducting training, supervision, operation of plant and equipment and Workplace
Health and Safety representation;
- Visibility of safety performances is provided through incident reports, safety management systems audits and
safety inspections;
- A proactive approach to minimizing risk and hazards are encouraged for all operations.
All members of the Regional Aviation Group are to comply with the requirements of
this Policy Statement and all other authorised applicable publications and directions to ensure safety in the workplace.
I encourage and reinforce open lines of communication between management and staff
to take a consultative and co-operative approach towards ensuring a safe workplace. Our employees have a right to a safe and
healthy working environment and share the responsibility for achieving safety objectives.
I emphasise that safety management is a core function of any workplace objective and I hold each person responsible for
their level of safety performance.
