Health & Safety

Central to Idemitsu’s philosophy is the belief that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. This principle underpins every element of our business approach. Idemitsu Australia and its group of companies also believe in knowing, understanding and effectively managing risk within our operations.

Our commitment

To deliver on these beliefs, Idemitsu Australia will:

• Foster a workplace culture that promotes accountability for behaviour and encourages proactive management of safety and health.
• Provide a safe, healthy, and respectful working environment to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses for all employees, contractors and visitors.
• Establish, implement and maintain a Health and Safety Management System aligned with AS/NZS ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems and the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model.
• Comply with all relevant legislative requirements, recognised standards and codes of practice.
• Set health and safety objectives with realistic and achievable targets to measure performance and promote continual improvement.
• Maintain effective communication and consultation mechanisms for health and safety matters with our employees, contractors and external stakeholders.

Idemitsu expects all employees to work safely and uphold our values and Life Saving Behaviours and Rules. By doing so, we aim to create a workplace free of harm, contributing positively to the nation and society.
