Our triple certified Quality (ISO9001), Safety (ISO45001) and Environmental (ISO14001) Management Systems have been proven over thousands of projects in high risk environments, allowing us to continuously improve our practices and to build on our reputation as best-in-class. They are also supported by ISO31000 certified Risk Management Systems.
A purpose built integrated management system captures and shares commercial IP from our project sites across Australia, producing unrivalled capabilities to analyse key performance data from past and current projects and to facilitate the transfer of technical and logistical knowledge to value engineer project management solutions for our clients.
Whelan holds the relevant insurances in accordance with best practice risk management and corporate governance protocols and we maintain the appropriate corporate licenses and individual competencies to complete our work safely and to the standards of quality our clients and stakeholders expect.
Our custom designed Right First Time behavioural safety program empowers our people to STOP and THINK about what they are doing, even if they have performed a task hundreds of times before. It means:
- We all go home safe. Every day.
- Each of takes responsibility for our safety and for the safety of everyone around us.
- We speak up when we see anything that appears unsafe.
- We can and will stop work if something is unsafe.
Whelan has never been subject to direct (protected or unprotected) industrial action at any time or on any project site and we are fully compliant with the Australian Building Code 2016, including our Security of Payment processes which underpin our long standing, high quality relationships with qualified and experienced subcontractors and suppliers.
