At Tyrecycle, we understand that a robust health and safety management system is essential for fostering a safe and healthy work environment. Our organisation is unwaveringly dedicated to maintaining and continually improving a comprehensive safety management system aimed at preventing workplace injuries and illnesses while promoting occupational health and wellbeing. This commitment extends beyond our employees to include contractors, visitors, the local community, and the public, ensuring that everyone involved in our business activities is protected from safety risks.
Our safety culture is deeply embedded in the principle “Safety Starts With Me,” which guides every facet of our operations. This ethos is reflected in our daily practices and consistently communicated to all staff members, reinforcing the idea that effective health and safety management is a shared responsibility. By embracing this mindset, we demonstrate our proactive approach to managing work health and safety, striving to create a workplace where hazards are minimised, and safety performance continually improves.
Furthermore, we extend this commitment beyond our internal teams by clearly communicating our safety policy and documented procedures to customers, visitors, and contractors on-site. This ensures that all work activities are conducted with the highest regard for safety, reducing workplace hazards and risks across every location where we operate.
At the heart of Tyrecycle’s health and safety management system are our Life Saving Rules, which serve as the cornerstone of our safety framework. These critical rules are specifically designed to guide safe behaviour and prevent serious injuries or fatalities, particularly in high-risk work activities. By establishing clear, documented procedures relating to these rules, we guarantee that all employees and contractors understand and comply with essential safety measures.
Our Life Saving Rules are not simply guidelines; they are actively enforced through ongoing training, consultation, and monitoring. This comprehensive approach ensures that safety matters remain top of mind for everyone, reinforcing our goal of achieving zero harm in the workplace. Through regular audits and continual improvement efforts, we evaluate our safety performance and implement corrective action when necessary to maintain compliance with safety legislation and legal requirements, including those prescribed by the WHS Act.
Tyrecycle operates in industries that involve potentially hazardous tasks such as managing plant machinery, conveyors, working at heights, vehicle movements, and exposure to loud noise. Recognising these risks, we prioritise a proactive approach to hazard management within our safety management system. Our system is designed to systematically identify, assess, and control workplace hazards to protect workers’ health and safety.
We implement measures designed to eliminate or minimise risks, ensuring a safe work environment for all employees and contractors. This process includes conducting thorough risk assessments, consulting with employees and safety representatives, and developing documented procedures that facilitate cooperation across all levels of the organisation. By continuously monitoring and reviewing these hazard management practices, we promote a healthy workplace and uphold our commitment to occupational health and safety.
Tyrecycle proudly aligns its operations with internationally recognised standards for health, safety, environment, and quality through our integrated Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (HSEQ) Management System. This system encompasses rigorous inspection and auditing processes, comprehensive training programmes, risk and hazard management, and strict adherence to all relevant legal requirements.
We hold certifications including ISO 45001:2018, which focuses on occupational health and safety management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and ISO 9001 for quality
