HSEQ Update ~ June

June working hours were approx. 31k for the month, a noticeable decrease from previous months, and the lowest since July 2023. Total hours worked for the financial year were approx. 475k, the busiest year to date, surpassing last year’s 352k.

During the month, toolbox training sessions were held on the topics of ‘Drugs & Alcohol’, as well as ‘Noise & Sediment Control’ from an environmental perspective.

Several SFP members have continued to take part in a pilot training program (Supervisor Fundamentals) which was jointly developed by HSEQ/ZH personnel across the Downer Utilities area. The training program will be considered for future use by SFP personnel once the pilot program and subsequent enhancements are completed.

The rolling 12-month and Year-End TRIFR rate is 4.20.

In June of 2023, SFP carried out Safety Culture Surveys across all its sites. The survey included a participation of more than 120 individuals. The responses resulted in an overall Pro-Gen score of 89%. The continuation of this survey has been raised at the Melbourne Water Safety Leadership forum however it appears to have fallen out of favour.
