Home / Health & Safety

Think safe, work safe, home safe

A structured workplace health and safety team backed by expert, professional third-party H&S support. A commitment from senior management to protect our people and deliver our work safely.

Health & Safety Structure

A senior team focused
on safety

Our workplace Health and Safety management structure includes a health and safety committee, EHS co-ordinator, and health and safety officer. The safety committee meets monthly, reporters directly to the CEO and has specific goals:

  1. Implementation and maintenance of ISO 45001.
  2. Monitoring the development and implementation of risk assessments.
  3. Revision and introduction of new H&S policies as deemed necessary.
  4. Driving a downward trend of accident and incident occurrences.
  5. Promotion of a more safety conscious culture within Keltech.

Risk Assessment

Comprehensive risk assessment
documentation

A fundamental element of our Health & Safety process is the implementation of detailed risk assessment documentation. Updated on an annual basis and available for inspection as required, our risk assessments are carefully drafted in collaboration with a third-party EHS consultant. This professional external expertise ensures the integrity of the assessments and that they are prepared in line with best practice.

Incident Reporting

A step-by-step incident reporting procedure

Our well-established incident reporting procedure features four distinct stages, each with specific goals.

  1. Immediate Actions

    Any first aid or medical requirements are safely administered, and the incident information is recorded.

  2. Investigation & Internal Reporting

    Determine the cause of the incident, identify any underlying issues, and inform senior management of the recommended corrective action.

  3. External Reporting

    Depending on the nature of the incident, notification of the Health & Safety Authority.

  4. Corrective Actions

    Implementation of the required corrective actions, including monitoring the impact of the actions.

Safety Through Automation

Advancing production and
protecting our people

Over the past number of years we’ve significantly invested in our production facility. Part of this transformation is the continued enhancement of our automation capability, serving to improve production efficiencies while also further protecting our people.

On completion, a current ongoing large-scale welding project will address the traditional risks associated with metal fabrication, including welding fume exposure, arc light exposure, manual handling, and manual buffing and grinding.

Our automation capacity will continue to expand at Keltech. We have ambitious plans for an automated loading and unloading system for the robots, and to fully automate the sheet cutting process.

We need to protect our people

For us, it’s think safe, work safe, home safe. We need to protect our people, giving them the environment to safely and confidently go about their work every day.
