Safety, Health and Wellbeing at LMATS

At LMATS , safety is more than compliance, it is a core value grounded in Care and Respect. We are committed to providing a safe, healthy and inclusive workplace for our people, contractors, visitors, and the communities we work in.

Our Commitment

We aim to eliminate or minimise risks so far as reasonably practicable. Everyone at LMATS is empowered to stop work if a task is unsafe, raise hazards, and take positive action.

• Safe and healthy workplaces across all branches
• Compliance with WHS, Environmental and Quality legislation and standards
• Continuous improvement through audits, inspections, and reviews
• Promoting a culture of openness, accountability, and respect

How We Care for Our People

• Hazard Identification & Job Safety Analysis (JSA) / Take 5 – every task begins with a pause to plan, identify hazards and apply controls.
• Training and Induction – all staff receive safety inductions, regular toolbox talks, and ongoing training tailored to their roles.
• Incident Reporting – all incidents, near misses and unsafe conditions are reported and investigated to ensure lessons are learned.
• Wellbeing and Support – return-to-work programs, first aid coverage, and external counselling services are available.

Working Safely, Every Day

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – provided where required, but always treated as the last line of defence.
• High-Risk Work – such as forklifts, scaffolds and welding, is performed only by licensed, competent personnel with Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS).
• Chemical Safety – safe storage, handling, and disposal of chemicals in line with our Chemical Management Procedure.
• Drug and Alcohol Policy – supported by random testing to maintain a safe and drug-free workplace.

Emergency and Preparedness

LMATS has clear procedures for evacuation and non-evacuation emergencies:

• Evacuation – raise the alarm, follow site plans, and account for all personnel.
• Non-Evacuation – isolate equipment, administer first aid, and call 000 when needed.
• First Aid – kits are available at all sites and in vehicles, with trained personnel on hand.

Protecting Our Environment

We recognise our responsibility to the communities and environments we work in:

• Preventing pollution and minimising waste
• Managing noise, emissions, and water responsibly
• Training employees to identify and report environmental hazards
• Achieving zero reportable environmental incidents
