WorkPac Group
Established in 1997, WorkPac Group is a labour hire service provider managing a workforce of more than 6,000 employees.
The majority of WorkPac's clients operate within high risk industries including mining, construction, engineering and health care. To ensure the highest level of safety, WorkPac developed a custom built safety system called 'MaxSafe'. The system ensures WorkPac delivers a highly skilled workforce to address the current skills shortage. It also maximises the safety performance of the workforce without daily supervision and management from WorkPac.
MaxSafe includes a purpose built software system 'Max' which is supported by a national team of OHS risk managers and injury management coordinators.
MaxSafe incorporates the following features to ensure WorkPac delivers a highly skilled and safe workforce:
- background checks on candidates, including tickets and licences and past safety performance from previous employers
- risk assessments of proposed work sites
- pre-employment medical screening and assessment
- safety inductions and training programs
- online reporting systems with 24 hour client access.
The implementation of MaxSafe has seen WorkPac achieve Lost Time Injury free operations for seven years, a reduction in workers' compensation premiums of more than 20 per cent and an ingrained zero harm safety culture across its workforce.
