Integrated Management System (IMS)

Stornoway’s Integrated Management System (IMS) is triple third party certified to AS/NZS ISO45001 Occupational health and safety management systems, AS/ NZS ISO9001 Quality management systems and AS/NZS ISO 14001 Environmental management systems.

As part of our accreditation, Stornoway has identified the legislative and other requirements applicable to our business and incorporated the appropriate references and responsibilities within our management system, primarily the Work Health and Safety Act 2012.

The most effective steps in the risk management process are communication and consultation and the monitoring and review of effectiveness. Our procedures and tools ensure this is a critical component of our approach to risk management and the safety of all our staff and stakeholders.

Driver Error Risk Reduction Project

‍After several near-hits on our worksites due to errors by the driving public, Stornoway formed the Driver Error Risk Reduction Program.The program developed tools, techniques and changes in traffic management plans over and above standard to mitigate the risks posed to roadworkers by road users. There were a number of important outputs from the project that have positively impacted the safety of our workers.
‍
‍Planning :  New minimum standards for traffic management plans for high-flow, high speed areas.

‍Culture : Encouraging and empowering our people to stop and seek help if traffic is not complying.

Engagement : Consulting Police, Department of State Growth, Road Safety Advisory Council, RACT and industry groups to develop a concerted approach to raising public awareness of roadworker safety.

‍Innovation & Outcomes : Seeking out innovative traffic tools and equipment to increase driver awareness, including radar equipped Variable Message Boards, rumble strips, portable boom gates and Worksite Willi - a robotic worker equipped with radar technology to warn people to slow down.
