Policy Statement – 673.23(a)
Safety is PBT's first priority. PBT is committed to implementing, developing, and improving strategies, management systems, and processes to ensure that all our activities uphold the highest level of safety performance and meet required safety standards.
We will develop and embed a safety culture in all our activities that recognizes the importance and value of effective safety management and acknowledges at all times that safety is paramount.
We will clearly explain to all staff their accountabilities and responsibilities for the development and operation of the SMS.
For passengers and employees, we will minimize the safety risk associated with transit service to as low as reasonably practicable, and we will work to comply with and, wherever possible, exceed legislative and regulatory requirements and standards. We will also work to ensure that all employees are provided with adequate and appropriate safety information and training, are competent in safety measures, and are only allocated tasks commensurate with their skills.
We have established Safety Performance Targets (SPT) to help us measure the overall effectiveness of our processes and ensure we meet our safety objectives. We will issue quarterly reports to the entire organization documenting how well we meet our safety performance targets and describing the safety risk mitigations we implemented to reduce safety risk.
