GHD’s Health and Safety management systems promote proactive
health and safety management from the proposal stage of jobs right
the way through to completion and handover.
GHD continues to see significant improvements in health and
safety performance, as we develop from a safety compliance focus to
a safety management culture approach across our operations.
