We are committed to ensuring the health and safety of all people entering or working at our port, in our marinas and onboard our vessels.

 

 

In everything we do, we prioritise the Port Marlborough core value of Hauora – we work together to sustain what keeps us healthy.

 

Our Commitment

We will:

  • Protect our people’s health against harm. We do this by managing our workplace risks and taking opportunities to optimise the wellbeing of our people.
  • Ensure that workers and their representatives are engaged and participate actively in all elements of our health and safety management system.
  • Monitor and continually improve the performance of our land-side and marine health and safety management systems.
  • Comply with the Health & Safety at Work Act 2015, Maritime Transport Act 1994 and adhere to codes of practice relevant to our industry including the Port & Harbour Safety Code.
  • Consult, cooperate and coordinate with businesses that we share a workplace with to make sure our overlapping health and safety duties are met.
  • Develop our culture to support an integrated and preventative approach to health and safety.

Our Critical Risk Programme

Our Critical Risk Programme focuses on the activities and hazards that have the potential to cause the most serious harm in our operations.

By focusing on what matters most, the programme ensures:

  • Consistent, high standards of safety across all high-risk activities

  • A shared understanding of risks and controls among staff, contractors and port users

  • A strong safety culture where everyone is empowered to take responsibility for doing the right thing, every time

If you are a tenant, PCBU or contractor working within the Port please take a look at our Critical Risks, controls and standards we can use to eliminate or minimise exposure to these risks.
