National Safety Award - Gisborne Group

CCA presented the Gisborne Group with the 2018 CCA National Safety Award. Gisborne’s safety leadership in the industry is exemplified through the implementation and management of their comprehensive health and safety management system, which has resulted in 0 lost-time incidents for the past 5 years, and multiple awards for its safety program and records. This program’s management systems for safety have been consistently and successfully applied across its commercial, residential and institutional construction divisions. Gisborne believes that a key element of the organization’s success is its commitment to ever-improving its safety management systems.

Gisborne found that through the implementation of the Job Hazard Assessments (JHA), workers are more readily engaged in the development of new Safe Work Practices for specific tasks – a participatory process that puts new ideas into practice and connects the workforce in a positive way with Gisborne’s corporate culture.
