Management Systems
 
Safety Management system

Safety is a big part of MITE, especially considering that some of our workers are family members, we have a belief that all of our employees are entitled to return home safe. Our safety management system has been steadily developed over the course of being in business, utilising the family’s experiences and working closely with Tier 1 contractors to maintain and develop out system to meet the current standards. We have done extensive work with site safety officers and safety managers to lift our documentation to acceptable levels in all required fields.

 

Environment Management system

Managing environmental concerns onsite is addressed by our Environmental Management Plan (EMP). We have utilised our EMP with tier 1 contractors to coincide with their own environmental control systems and plans. Our EMP has been signed off by RPEQ engineers for use across many of our sites when required.

Our use of Inspection, Test Plans (ITP’s) to ensure that the details on construction documents is communicated in a familiar way to our workers on the ground has proven itself time and time again to be an effective way of communicating the requirements of the project. We deploy these documents across all sites big and small.
