McMahon Services proudly secures Federal Safety Re-Accreditation

Back in 2009, McMahon Services was the first multi-disciplinary construction services company in Australia to achieve Federal Safety Accreditation.

At the end of 2012, the company went through an eight month audit process and are proud to report that we have gained re-accreditation.

The audit for re-accreditation tested our safety systems and processes, and set us the challenge of demonstrating safety best practice to the highest standards.

The Amcor Paper Manufacturing Plant demolition site in New South Wales was selected as the operational site to be audited by the Federal Safety Commission, as part of the three year re-accreditation process.

The historic plant based in Botany was earmarked for redevelopment, so McMahon Services was engaged to demolish complete and part sections of the existing structures and plant.

Some areas were redundant, while others required decommissioning. The project also called for both friable and bonded asbestos removal, along with redundant pipework, tanks and roofing.

In total, over 4,000 square metres of Super 6 bonded asbestos sheeting was safely removed and disposed of, and approximately 300 lineal metres of friable pipe lagging.
The project demanded an extensive range of heavy machinery, including the PC1250 Ultra High Reach Demolition Excavator, PC220 excavator, 30 tonne Cat excavator, 100 tonne Grove Crane and S185 bobcat.

The Federal Safety Commission officer arrived on-site in mid-October to observe work processes and to cross-check our safety documentation.

The team was successful in passing the audit process, proving our strength as a leading Australian demolition contractor.
