Our people

This makes the people category of the Business Excellence Framework one of our most influential.

Under the Business Excellence Framework category of people management, we set out to improve our performance in a number of areas:
Occupational Safety and Health
The Department has continued to implement its occupational safety and health strategies and has achieved further reductions in injury rates.
Major hazard-based initiatives that have been addressed are as follows;
- Upgrade of Licensing Centre Ergonomic Counters;
- Audited use of chemical and material safety data sheets (MSDS);
- Implementation of training for staff using four-wheel drives and trailers; and
- Implementation and promotion of occupational safety and health management of contractors and other employee groups (e.g. volunteers).
