Health and Safety: Our number one priority
Bloomfield Group Commitment
The Bloomfield Group strives for a ZERO HARM workplace, where every person goes home at the end of each workday physically and mentally safe.
To achieve this, Bloomfield is committed to maintaining effective and embedded safe systems of work, and seeking continuous performance improvement opportunities.
The Bloomfield Group cares for our workers' health and wellbeing and demonstrates this through a range of initiatives including (but not limited to):
• Our holistic wellbeing program #healthyliving. This program aims to promote change and ownership of healthy living, and provides support to our teams to help them understand how their own physical and mental health impacts safety.
• Our Five to Stay Alive program. This initiative focuses on identifying the critical hazards affecting the health and safety of our employees. It helps identify the behaviours and critical controls required to mitigate or prevent poor safety outcomes.
Mentally Safe: Bringing psychosocial hazards into focus
In October 2022, the NSW Government implemented amendments to the Work, Health, and Safety legislation requiring all of us in the workplace to identify and manage psychosocial hazards.
Psychosocial hazards in the workplace are aspects of work or situations that may cause a stress response, which in turn can lead to psychological or physical harm.
Bloomfield has produced a training video called Mentally Safe - bringing psychosocial hazards into focus. It has been created to help us identify psychosocial hazards in the workplace and help us understand how we can manage the risks.
The program brings together three experts in different fields to:
- Provide awareness of the legislation dealing with psychosocial hazards in the workplace
- Provide an understanding of the legal responsibilities and accountabilities for managing psychosocial hazards
- Help identify psychosocial hazards in the workplace
- Explore how the hazards may have varying impacts on different people
- Explain how psychosocial hazards may be prevented and managed...including by using some of the current tools and controls in our business.
