SAFETY There is no task that we undertake that is so important that we can’t take the time to find a safe way to do it.
STRATEGY Brickworks is committed to minimising the risks to health and safety of its employees, contractors and the general public. We believe that continual improvement in health and safety is a key requirement for a sustainable workplace. The Brickworks strategy is to have high compliance to legislation, focussed safety leadership and a proactive generative culture that integrates safety into all business processes.
