All McMahon Services plant and equipment items undergo rigorous risk assessments to identify potential hazards associated with the plant, and then develop and implementation risk elimination or mitigation strategies for each risk. Plant and equipment, where practical, is designed to eliminate or minimise the risk of injury to personnel using, cleaning or maintaining the equipment.
