Safety & Wellbeing
At Taylor, safety isn’t simply a box we tick – it’s a deep commitment that underpins and drives everything we do.
We have a strong culture of Zero Harm which centres on the belief that all work-related injuries and illnesses are preventable. This is driven by effective leadership from the very top with George Bardas, CEO, and Andrew Andreou, Head of WHSE, going above and beyond to make sure our people are supported by a safe, inclusive environment.
It’s important to us that safety is kept top of mind by everyone who works with Taylor. Our Bringing Safety Home initiative was developed as a constant reminder that safety is everyone’s responsibility. Ultimately, we want every Taylor team member to return home from work safely, every single day – and that’s what we strive to ensure.
