Zero Harm
Zero Harm is the vision that guides all our operations and activities undertaken by Kirby. It is our commitment to continually strive to reach the highest standards in Health and Safety, minimise our impact on the environment, and work co-operatively with our people and host communities.

Our focus is on proactive engagement, encouraging team participation through Safe Plan of Action Assessments to review hazards, stimulate discussions, and identify risk mitigation strategies. We aim to build a culture of ownership with our EHS observation and behavioural reporting processes, promoting the recognition of safe people and conditions.
