Waihi District Walkways Inc is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy working environment for the safety and health of our contractors and other persons in the workplace. Our walkways may be viewed as workplaces to which the public is invited.

Contractors will undertake construction and maintenance work, and hazard controls specific to those activities implemented as required. Waihi Walkways does not employ employees.

Health and safety is everyone’s business, and everyone is expected to exercise their own sense of safety whilst engaging in activities on our walkways.

We will ensure the safety of our contractors, volunteers and walkers by:

To achieve this we will:

1. Systematically identify all hazards on our walkways. Where there are significant hazards we will take all practicable steps to eliminate, isolate and or minimise these hazards to prevent any injury or damage.
2. Inform all subcontractors and volunteers of hazards and hazard controls.
3. Ensure all subcontractors and volunteers are properly trained and/or supervised.
4. Record all incidents and accidents on our walkways, and take all practicable steps to prevent these events from happening.
5. Carry out planned self-inspections to monitor health and safety issues.
6. Ensure all subcontractors and volunteers are given reasonable opportunities to participate effectively in ongoing processes for the improvement of health and safety on our walkways.
