Our Commitments
We have long understood that people are our most important asset. It’s why we are firmly committed to building safe, engaged, diverse and inclusive workplaces. Our goal is to develop a culture where every person feels respected, connected and able to contribute to their full potential.
Part of this work centres around our Zero Harm approach. Through it, we strive to eliminate all risks and hazards in the workplace that could potentially cause harm to people or the environment. That way, everyone who spends time at a Boral workplace can return safe and uninjured to their family at the end of the day. Our ‘Four Life Saving Rules’ are an important part of this work.
We also take seriously our responsibility to manage dust across all of our sites and we are striving to lead the way through a comprehensive dust management framework. This is informed by our ongoing work with specialists and regulators to help ensure we are using modern management practices and dust control technologies to keep our people safe and healthy while at work.
