National Finalist Excellence in Workplace Health & Safety
Perkins Builders is committed to the philosophy of striving to maintain an injury free workplace in all of our operations. Perkins Builders recognises that effective management of safety, health and environmental protection requires the commitment and dedication of our employees to identify any potential workplace hazards, assess the associated risks and implement, and review control measures to ensure they are effective in eliminating the hazard or reducing the risk.
As such, further to receiving the 2021 MBA WA Excellence in Workplace Health and Safety Performance Award for the Perth Airport International Gate Upgrade project, Perkins Builders are extremely pleased to announce that we are a Finalist for the 2021 National Master Builders Australia Excellence in Workplace Health and Safety Performance Award. This award is the pinnacle of honours for the commercial construction industry nationally and serves as fantastic recognition of both Perkins’ and Perth Airport’s commitment to workplace health and safety, zero harm philosophy, the effective management of WHS and specifically the underpinning collaborative approach between the Perkins and Perth Airport HSE Teams, notably Matthew Stafford and Brian Dargie, for the duration of the project.
Perth Airport International Gate Upgrade project was an extremely complex project, completed within a highly operational and high-risk working environment; whilst working airside and abiding to all security and sterile requirements. COVID-19 increased the level of complexity and restrictions for the duration of the project. Perkins Builders are exceptionally proud of its project team and their extraordinary commitment and effort in completing and delivering such a complex and operationally high-risk project, with no serious or reportable injuries sustained for the duration of the project.
