Work Health & Safety and Environment

Macarthur Excavations strictly complies with all WH&S safety standards and employs stringent occupational health & safety measures in all of our service areas including demolition, excavation and asbestos removal.

Macarthur Excavations adheres to the WH&S Act 2011, WH&S Regulation 2011, and the Australian Standards AS2601.

As each project is different Macarthur Excavations develops a specific Safe Work Method Statement for each of our projects whether it is asbestos removal, demolition, excavation or a combination of all three services.

Macarthur Excavations will notify work cover prior to the beginning of each demolition or asbestos removal, and obtains their approval prior to beginning works.

Macarthur Excavations is committed to ensuring all our employees and contractors and the general public are kept safe from risk of injury or illness arising from our work activities.

Our key objectives are to identify all safety and welfare hazards associated with our workplace and work practices and control associated risks to any person who may be affected by our operations.

Employees and contractors always comply with legislative requirements, company WH&S policies, procedures and Injury Management requirements, and ensure that they follow directions from supervisors

Environment

The house demolition industry contributes up to 45% to environmental landfill. At Macarthur Excavations it is our priority and commitment to avoid demolition waste going to landfill where possible. We are constantly working to find better ways to maximise the amount of materials recycled during each demolition and regularly service our trucks and equipment in order to reduce the carbon emissions released into the environment.

At Macarthur Excavations we believe in doing our part and are always looking at ways to reduce our environmental impact.
