PORTLAND Aluminium says its safety initiative which kicked off in February 2009, engages all areas of the plant in AFL-like football teams to battle it out on the health and safety field until September 2009.
Masterminded by a former employee, the Portland Aluminium Safety League (PASL) initiative has been adopted by employees and contractors alike, emphasising and making the often serious topic of safety more fun and interactive.
The initiative not only promotes and rewards individual involvement in health and safety but also generates discussion around safety and allows employees to work together for external charity organisations.
Smelter Manager John Osborne says the safety league is a fun way to get all employees involved and engaged in health and safety, while promoting and rewarding individual involvement.
Osborne says safety is the mineral processing company’s number one priority, and it will explore all avenues to ensure employees are engaged and working safely wherever they, whatever they are doing.
Proving more successful than their AFL namesakes, the AHEA Tigers this year took out both the prestigious PASL cup and the Contractors’ Cup, with their hard work on and off the field.
