Seqwater has identified 12 risks associated with work performed on our sites that have the potential to cause a fatality if no controls are applied. For each of these risks we have identified a set of controls that are crucial to preventing this fatality occurring. These are called Critical Controls and are documented in our Critical Control Handbook.

The handbook is designed to be a communication tool that outlines the minimum set of safety controls for Seqwater’s Fatality Risks. These critical controls are applicable to everyone performing work for Seqwater. Contractors are expected to ensure the controls listed in the Critical Controls Handbook are in place and effective for all work they are performing for Seqwater. For most contractors this should be either no, or a very minimal, change as the controls are generally standard across industry.
