Environment Policy

ACH Clifford’s Environmental Management Policy and Commitment

…”To ensure that ACH Clifford’s activities do not cause injury or illness to any person or damage the environment, and to ensure that we continually improve our safety and environmental management performance – ACH Clifford aims to establish a secure safe place for employment, enhance the profile and profitability of our enterprise, and make a contribution to our industry’s improvement of both safety and the environment ….”
ACH Clifford Pty Ltd sets objectives and targets and performance measures and we commit all levels of our Company from the Director to the construction worker to involvement in the development, implementation and management of this System which is committed to the prevention of environmental pollution.

Our aim is to continually improve our environmental performance whilst complying with all applicable legislation so as to effectively prevent pollution that may result from the impact of our activities.

Our company’s activities and services principally involve:

• Demolition and excavation
• Building and Construction
• Refurbishment and renovation/renewal

 

These activities can lead to pollution and degradation of the environment and so as Managing Director I accept the obligation to identify the aspects and impacts and to set targets to eliminate or minimize harm. These objectives and targets shall be reviewed as part of an annual review of this system.

This EMS forms part of our over all management system that provides the organisation structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and resources for developing, implementing, achieving and maintaining this policy. The EMS is thus the framework for setting and achieving ACH Clifford’s objectives and targets.

As Managing Director and in support of our Company’s policy, I therefore commit and pledge to provide the necessary technical, technological, human, financial and material resources necessary to the achievement of our objectives and targets.

A fundamental requirement for this commitment is ensuring that all levels of the organisation are familiar with and remain familiar with our objective and how our System operates.

In addition I commit the Company to processes such as documented inspections, and audits to measure performance, and commit to a formal l system review at least annually so as to re-examine the Company’s policy and objectives to ensure their relevance and to maintain our accreditation and certification to government and AS/NZS and ISO Standards.
