Health and safety management system
Downer’s Health and Safety Management System provide a consistent, company-wide framework for safe, high-performance operations.
Certified to ISO 45001:2018, accredited by the Office of the Federal Safety Commissioner, and integrated into The Downer Standard, it supports compliance with WHS legislation and reflects our commitment to accountability, operational discipline, and safe delivery in complex, high-risk work environments.
Built on strong governance and continual improvement, the system draws on audits, operational feedback, incident learnings, industry trends, and regulatory updates. It also extends to delivery partners, with requirements tailored to the work and contract.
By collaborating with customers and partners, we embed practical, adaptable systems of work that reduce risk, strengthen resilience, and safeguard both our people and the communities we serve.
