We have comprehensive safety systems, including risk assessments for all works and SWIMS audit reports. We promote safety best practice in the training of all new employees and on an ongoing basis. “Just some great positive feedback from the McMahon’s team here at ACJV Rail. Today at Toolbox we celebrated the consistent performance that Leo has and does day in day out. Safety first, he sets the standard when it comes to pre-task risk assessments and looking out for his work mates. Then of course, his work performance is second to none.” - McMahon Services
