Working with ActewAGL
Health, safety and environmental management
The ACT Occupational Health and Safety Act 1989 requires all employers to ensure that their employees have the skills and training required to carry out their work in a safe manner and without risk to public health and the environment.
Life Guard is ActewAGL's Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) management system. Life Guard ensures that a uniform standard of HSE management exists across the organisation.
Contractors submitting tenders for works and some services are advised that
they must have completed the Tenderer HSE
management system questionnaire (162kb — Word) and attach it to their
tender. The tender document will stipulate whether this requirement exists.
The HSE questionnaire is not required for "Goods" tenders.
All successful tenderers may be required to complete a contract
risk assessment form (146kb — Word). If the completed risk assessment
form indicates that the work you are undertaking for ActewAGL is graded as a
medium-or high-risk job you are required to prepare a health, safety and environment
plan prior to commencing operation. There are guidelines
(161 kb — Word) available to assist with the development of your HSE plan.
