Commitment to safety

Safety is Opticomm's first and most important value. In everything we do, we first consider the safety of our people, contractors and the public. We continually strive to improve the quality of working life and business performance, reduce the risks of illness and injury and boost the well-being of our people. Our Health, Safety and Environment Policy sets out how every person working in our company accepts a personal responsibility to provide a safe and healthy workplace for themselves, their colleagues, customers and suppliers.

Commitment to the environment

At OptiComm we are committed to minimising the environmental impacts and resource usage at our sites and throughout the life cycle of our products.  Programs we have in place include quantification of greenhouse gas emissions and rates of general waste and recyclable streams generated across our sites. 

Resource Efficiency Workshops are held to identify energy, water and waste reduction opportunities, which have led to the establishment of a Green Team in our corporate head office, underpinning a staff-led culture of continuous sustainability improvement.  As a result of the Green Team’s work we introduced the use of 100% recycled envelopes across Hills Holdings and are coordinating events such as “Business Clean Up Days”, “Waste Free Lunch Days” and “Greener Way to Work Days”.

Fit for Work/Fit for Life

At Opticomm we believe the healthier our staff, the healthier our business.  Our Fit for Work/Fit for Life initiative provides guidance to our sites to develop site-based health management programs such as fatigue management, drug and alcohol use, occupational rehabilitation , health promotion and employee assistance. The “Greener Way to Work Day” encourages employees to ride, walk, use public transport or to carpool to work, and experience the health, financial and environmental benefits that come with leaving the car at home.
