EXCELLENCE AWARDS QUEENSLAND

WORK HEALTH & SAFETY BEST PRACTICE CATEGORY Nilsen (QLD) Energised Testing Safety Barrier Working in one of the world’s largest alumina refineries with aging assets and no heat mapping electrical infrastructure, Nilsen developed its Energised Testing Safety Barrier to allow its workers to safely carry out infrared and ultrasonic testing while the plant remained operational.

WORK HEALTH & SAFETY BEST PRACTICE COMMENDATION Fredon (QLD) Fredon WH&S Systems In response to the emerging risk of exposure to silica dust, Fredon developed new workplace procedures on the 182-bed, Surgical Treatment and Rehabilitation Service – or STARS - project within the Herston Health Precinct. By investigating alternative methods of installation to reduce the need to drill or cut concrete, Fredon was able to dramatically improve the safety outcomes for its own employees, and most importantly, everyone on site.

LIGHTING DESING & INSTALLATION CATEGORY Fredon (QLD) CBUS & Suncorp Stadiums Lighting Upgrade During the electrical and communications works to upgrade the lighting at CBUS Stadium on the Gold Coast, and Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Fredon had to maintain a live, fully operational environment to avoid disruption to the stadiums’ commercial activities. Following the removal of the old metal arc sports lighting system, 572 Philips Arenavison Gen3 LED sports lights were installed, along with the associated control systems.

EMERGING NEW SMALL BUSINESS COMMENDATION Give Industries Give Industries Give Industries is a young company working across hospitality, retail, commercial, and not-for-profits in the aged care and food relief sector. Give Industries is an ACNC registered charity and 100% of the profit from its work is donated to charity. In the two years since the company was formed, Give Industries’ social enterprise model has seen the company donate $124,004 to its charity partners.
