CRT Group

Richard Spall, General Manager of the CRT Group talked to the NSCA on winning last year’s coveted prize “Excellence in Occupational Health and Safety” at the 2009 National Safety Awards of Excellence and the changing face of safety within his company.
 

What exposure did you gain from being last year’s overall winner of the 2009 ExxonMobil/NSCA National Safety Awards of Excellence? Both externally, but also internally due to recognising the efforts of your staff.

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of QR Limited, CRT Group’s vision is to be ‘world class in safety’.  Receiving the 2009 NSCA award was acknowledged within QR and by external parties as an important milestone in our safety journey.

From your experience, would you recommend companies to nominate themselves in the 2010 NSCA/GIO National Safety Awards of Excellence?

Recognition of the efforts made by organisations and their people towards making the work place safer is extremely important.   Nominating for the 2010 NSCA/GIO National Safety Awards of Excellence offers the opportunity to be recognised as a leader in health and safety.

Does the CRT Group see any changing OHS trends or changes within the Australian transport and logistics industry?

CRT Group recognises the importance of each person involved in the supply chain.  Accordingly, we have implemented clear policies and robust systems across our national business to ensure that our staff and customers operate in a safe environment.

We have developed a safety focused culture within our organisation, however maintaining a safe work environment requires continual vigilance and strong leadership. 

In all of our business dealings CRT Group continues to make safety non-negotiable, to ensure that our customers and staff remain safe.
