People and Employment: Employment Principles

GAC is a values-based organisation. Principles guiding employment include: 

  • Merit based selection processes
  • People recruited and promoted based on skills and performance
  • Commitment to integrity of business practice and conduct of employees and contractors
  • Embracing of diversity, built on a foundation of trust, honesty, understanding and tolerance
  • Innovation and performance encouraged and rewarded.

Zero Harm Safety Culture

The adoption of Zero Harm principles has required a committed focus from management to build a strong safety culture for the project.

This culture is supported by rigorous safety frameworks – the BHP Billiton Health, Safety, Environment and Community Standards, and Fatal Risk Control Protocols.

All contractors and sub-contractors are expected to enforce GAC's safety policies.  Regular monitoring and auditing of safety practices will occur to ensure this.
