Overview
Working in and around the public – Evotec Services ensure all staff and others working onsite understood the importance of safe working practices and conducted Daily Toolbox Talks to make all parties aware of tasks in hand. Currently we provide 4 weekly lookaheads and table fortnightly meetings with the DOF to discuss all aspects of the works.
Live works – Evotec Services operate a NO live policy. Due to large civil works and working around existing infrastructure we have scanned the ground and always have a spotter onsite to review the working conditions. During the Major shutdown will shall utilize a generator for temporary power for the Zoo.
Animal Welfare – Due to working next to the animals with heavy machinery we must adhere to the approved Noise / Communication and Environmental Management Plans. This includes clear communication with multiple teams at Perth Zoo to ensure the animals welfare is taken into account before commence work.
