Underpinning all our operations are robust Health & Safety policies and practices. We work with both employers and field employees to proactively identify and manage risk.
Select Recruitment is a division of AWF, and part of Accordant, the only NZX-listed recruitment group in the country, which means we adhere to strict regulations, reporting, and audits to ensure high-quality recruitment processes.
Everyone in our organisation plays a part in maintaining best practice Health & Safety standards that are compliant with today’s legislation. Our processes and practices are designed to drive the prevention of harm, and these include:
Using our Health & Safety data, we constantly monitor the rate of injuries and near misses to identify areas of risk that need improvement. Based on this information, we then determine common situations and causes, and create bespoke Health & Safety initiatives to change behaviour and minimise risk. Our approach often includes communications across a wide range of channels, incorporating digital and on-site activations, and is targeted to both our clients and our field employees.
This multi-channel campaign tells the story of how important it is for our field employees to speak up if their duties change during an assignment, and they feel unequipped or unprepared to take on the new task.
After identifying that there had been an increase in the number of hand injuries across our workforce, we created a campaign addressing the common scenarios where hand injuries happened, with tips to avoid them.
The goal of this Health & Safety initiative is to raise awareness of a wide range of common workplace injuries, and equip our team with the tools and information they need to stay safe and avoid these common injuries.
This campaign focuses on the importance of warming up before physical activity at work to prevent our people from injuring themselves, both for their own benefit and for their 'team' - whether that's, friends, whānau or workmates.
With data showing the risk of near misses and injuries increasing as our workforce return to work after the break, our initiative aims to get our people engaged, focused and get their head back in the game.
