Safety

RJE's primary objective on any project is to ensure the safety of our employees, co-workers and the public we interact with.

RJE have well developed Safety Management Plans for site works and these plans refer to procedures and forms which workers are required to comply with and complete, to meet our safety objectives.

In addition to the requirements of our Safety Management Plan, RJE have developed Ten Critical Safety Rules which address what we see as the high risk safety exposure areas for our employees. Being generally safety conscious and complying with our Safety Management Plan are a given for site works, but being mindful of the Critical Safety Rules helps us simplify safety for our employees. Each critical safety rule has pre-defined disciplinary actions which are discussed with employees.
