HSSE matters Z is committed to striving to achieve a Zero Harm workplace for all. That means safety first – Work safe, Home safe. • To achieve this we need your commitment as well. It is important to us that all managers, supervisors, and workers think and behave in a safe manner to prevent harm to themselves and others. • All workers are authorised to stop work if they are have a health and safety concern about the work they are doing. • If there is any doubt as to whether an activity is safe; stop, assess and determine the required action to make it safe.
