This system manages our documentation including acts, regulations, standards, policies, procedures, safe work instructions and forms, as well as maintaining records for training, plant and equipment, and incident management.
Our integrated Business Management System Manual has been developed to provide the guiding principles, objectives and processes of the WHSEQ Management System.
Our commitment to workplace health and safety, quality and environmental management is underpinned by our integrated WHSEQ Plan.
WHSEQ management objectives are to establish, implement and continually improve the integrated management system to:
Safety is at the forefront of our operations across Australia, demonstrated by our Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems being certified to AS/NZS 4801:2001, our exemplary safety record and comprehensive internal structures and processes.
Furthermore, we were the first multi-disciplinary construction services company in Australia to achieve Federal Safety Accreditation.
Our “Safety Focused” behavioural program is designed to build a strong safety culture throughout our organisation.
To implement changes in attitudes and behaviours we work closely with our site personnel by utilising a mix of workshops, training materials and on-site mentors.
We encourage open communication with the aim of creating greater awareness to help reduce injuries and improve our safety performance.
We recognise that the involvement of managers in the safety management process is critical, particularly at the site manager and supervisor level.
Our Safety Focused Program is aimed at developing skills in safety leadership and influencing attitudes and behaviours surrounding best safety practice.
Our objective is to continually review our safety record and improve our safety performance to achieve a standard that is above industry requirements. As an organisation, we implement a Health, Safety and Environmental Management Plan for every project. The purpose of the HSEP is to identify and assess potential safety and environmental risks, analyse the level of risk, and outline measures that will be used to minimise or eliminate the hazard.
We are proud to be recognised as industry leaders for our safety initiatives. Our staff know that their actions, as individuals, promote an injury free environment and that everyone has responsibility for maintaining our safety culture.
McMahon Services strives to consistently deliver the highest quality standards across all service areas.
We are committed to providing quality products and engaging with our customers to understand their specific needs. Our third party accreditation to AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems underlines this commitment.
Our quality assurance approach is managed by company-wide policies and procedures, with the aim of continually improving customer satisfaction.
To measure, analyse and improve our performance, we seek feedback from our clients, reflecting on our services, staff, safety standards and communication.
Environmental management planning is an integral part of our overall project approach, embedding environmental considerations into every aspect of our operations and activities.
Our commitment to the protection and preservation of the environment is best demonstrated by our certification to AS/NZS ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management Systems.
McMahon Services understands its obligations to avoid waste generation and enable the recycling and reuse of waste generated by our operations and activities. We have adopted a 0% waste target for our company operations and we are continuously refining our methods of waste processing to achieve this goal.
We were recognised for our outstanding environmental management and innovative solutions at the 2011 Civil Contractors Federation National Earth Awards. Our $2.5 million remediation of Housing SA’s Birkenhead site involved the removal and treatment of 6000 tonnes of contaminated soils and 2000 tonnes of high level contaminated waste soils from the 15,000 square metre Mead Street location, using Australia’s first Multiple Waste Treatment (MWT) facility.

We know that the core of our business is our people, so this program was aimed at investing in our greatest asset by educating our staff about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.
McMahon Services believe that we can work smarter, wiser and more efficiently by improving the health and wellbeing of our personnel.
We also have an ageing workforce, with a majority of males, so it was time to start tackling some key health issues.
Health Kick is not about pointing the finger; it is simply about educating our staff about healthy living.
The Program has sparked a new chapter for McMahon Services, as we continue to strive for a safe workplace, where workmates can work safely alongside their workmates.
On 23 August 2012, over 220 Adelaide-based personnel were geared up at AAMI Stadium, ready to kick-off the program.
