We are committed to ensuring the health, safety and welfare of our employees and any other people who may be affected by Adecco’s operations. Adecco will pursue best practice OH&S and fulfil our statutory duties at all times, working with clients, candidates and colleagues to ensure a safer working environment for all.
Prior to commencing work with new clients and as part of our OH&S compliance, Adecco requests that we conduct an OH&S inspection on each site. We undertake a full Hazard and Inspection Procedure, producing a detailed report with recommendations for any site safety improvements.
