Downer is the leading provider of integrated services in Australia and New Zealand. We design, build and sustain assets, infrastructure and facilities.
Downer Maintenance Operations Manager Aaron Waitai recently spoke with the Waikato Times about how we keep our people safe in the heat. โOur company policy is long-long, so we have long sleeves and pants, and hard hats, so most of the skin is not exposed to the sun.โ ๐
And with outdoor workers at a much higher risk for skin cancer than most, we have PPE policies in place to provide as much protection against UV radiation as possible. โ Road work is strenuous all year round, but it can be especially challenging in the summer.
Temperatures are soaring on both sides of the Tasman, and when the roads get hot, so do our people! โ
Safety is the #1 priority at Downer so weโre taking extra care this summer to make sure our outdoor work sites have systems in place to prevent heat exhaustion.
Together, our partnership will serve our customers across Australia and New Zealand as we advance sustainable rail solutions.
