Civil and mining work carries real risk — plant interaction, trenches, services, traffic and remote environments. Our goal is zero harm: no injury to people, no damage to property, and no compromise on the standards our clients and regulators expect.
Safety is not a separate workstream. It is embedded in how we plan programmes, mobilise crews, sequence earthworks and hand over completed packages across Perth, regional WA and FIFO mobilisations.
USCM operates under an integrated safety management system aligned to Australian WHS legislation and client requirements — policies, procedures, risk registers and incident reporting that stand up to audit.
Hazard identification, risk assessment and control verification are part of programme planning from tender through to practical completion, not paperwork added at the end.
Every person on our sites completes a site-specific induction before work starts. Safe Work Method Statements are prepared for high-risk tasks — trenching, deep excavations, live services, lifting and plant interaction — and reviewed with crews at toolbox talks before execution.
Heavy plant and haul routes are planned with pedestrian exclusion, spotter requirements and traffic management suited to subdivision, infrastructure and mining environments.
Exclusion zones around excavations, lifting and live services are marked, communicated and supervised — with hold points where client or engineer verification is required before proceeding.
Operators, leading hands and supervisors hold the competencies required for their roles — plant tickets, high-risk licences and site-specific authorisations kept current and verified before mobilisation to client projects.
We deliver on developer, tier-one contractor and mining client safety requirements — pre-qualification, audit-ready documentation, KPI reporting and corrective action that closes out findings before they become incidents.
Safety performance is reviewed at programme level alongside cost, quality and schedule — because a programme that is not safe is not deliverable.
