TQN Construct places a high priority on health and safety. We take a holistic approach to health and safety by managing hazards and risks in our clients’ workplaces, as well as complying with all relevant legislation. Our vision is to embed a ‘Work Safe For Life’ culture that is not just about protecting our people from something, it is about protecting our people for something. We all have a life outside of work, with people we care about and people who care about us.

The fundamental beliefs essential to our Work Safe For Life culture are:

• Our people should always return home free from injury;
• Safety will not be compromised; workers have the right to stop work if unsafe;
• Safety is everyone’s responsibility;
• A zero-harm workplace is actively pursued; and
• Being proactive to improve safety performance.

TQN Construct minimises risks to personnel and clients by providing our workers with documented procedures, ensuring that requirements regarding licenses, personal protective equipment and processes are understood and implemented. Utilising systems such as Rapid Induct (for training and induction) and Rapid Incident (for incident and hazard reporting) means there is transparent and real-time reporting of our safety measures, minimising risk for your business. TQN Construct is accredited to Occupational Health and Safety standards ISO 45001:2018 by QMS, and maintains a WHS policy that reflects our commitment to safety. Our organisation’s management plays an integral role in health and safety at TQN Construct by continuously seeking ways to lead, demonstrating safety behaviours and communicating positive health and safety practices.

TQN Construct’s motto is ‘Everything’s Connected’ and we offer quality multi-service provisions to make the management of your facility as simple as possible.

Our workers are accountable and proactive in finding the best solutions available to our clients, linking them with the diverse services we offer in the most cost-effective way possible.

TQN Construct is accredited to Quality Management standards ISO 9001:2015 by QMS.

Before stepping on-site, our directly employed staff and approved contractors are trained utilising Rapid Induct, an online induction and training platform that enables TQN Construct workers and contractors to ensure their training is current, specific to their role, and compliant.

We undertake regular auditing and inspections using technology such as Concept Evolution and Rapid Auditor to connect our people, buildings and data. We use data to meet client requirements and capture data that confirms our staff are doing their job and meeting expectations.

TQN Construct is constantly seeking new innovations and systems to benefit our clients, and make our work more effective.

TQN Construct is committed to providing a safe, respectful, diverse, and supportive environment for all our employees.

We employ people who reflect our values:
