Dowdens Pumping and Water Treatment are supporting the Queensland State Government's Safe Work Week campaign.

The Dowdens Group is committed to ensuring our workers go home safely at the end of each working day. Our safety campaign WORK SAFE - HOME SAFE is being implemented across all Dowdens Group entities with a view to ensuring that all staff and personnel attending a Dowdens Group office or work site are aware of our stringent safe work practices and policies.

Dowdens Pumping and Water Treatment aims to be recognised as an industry leader in workplace health and safety and our people take justifiable pride in the safety programs we deliver as an organisation.

It is important to remember that an organisation's culture develops over a period of time and cannot be created instantly. The safety culture of an organisation develops as a result of history, work environment, the workforce, health and safety practices, along with strong management leadership.

Occupational Health and Safety is of paramount importance to Dowdens Pumping and Water Treatment, and there is a shared belief across all levels of our business units, that every incident and every injury is preventable.

Our Occupational Health and Safety policy is based on the following principles:

• All occupational injury and illness is preventable
• no job is so important or urgent that it cannot be done safely
• an incident and injury free project is achievable.

Our approach to implementing new and improved standards, processes and procedures helps us achieve safer and more environmentally friendly outcomes. Our Health, Safety and Environmental goals and policies are vital and integral elements of our business. Our safety focused management systems and processes influence everything we do.

Our dedication to safety helps keep our employees and those around them safe, while also benefiting our clients.
