Working Safely

Safety is our top priority and having a safe waterways network and working environment is extremely important to us. We have systems, training and initiatives in place to make our waterways safe for the public, for our staff and for our contractors.

Our Safety Policy Statement (69KB PDF) defines our commitment to safety and our accountability for delivering safety performance.
