Safety underpins everything we do

We are fully committed to the continual improvement and enhancement of site safety management and eliminating and mitigating all critical health & safety-related risks.

Our strong focus on safety leadership at all levels of our organisation, and our strategic corporate safety campaign “Strive for L▪I▪F▪E” (Leighton Incident Free Environment) with all its supporting initiatives, is the vehicle we use to deliver the highest standard of health and safety performance possible, as well as to actively involve all parties in the development and sustainability of our ONE HSE Safety Culture.

We operate a comprehensive Health and Safety management system, which is fully compliant with all statutory requirements, ISO 45001:2018 international standards, specific contract requirements and our internal standards. We hold ourselves to the highest health and safety standards from design to tender and final project delivery.

Leighton Asia’s Strive for L▪I▪F▪E strategic safety programme officially kicked off in November 2009 with the vision to bring about a step-change and a cultural shift towards the elimination of Class 1 incidents across all of our operating regions.

Our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate has decreased significantly since the rollout of the Strive for L▪I▪F▪E programme and our management of Critical Risks is amongst the best industry leaders.

By embracing safety as a core value, we have actively built and sustained the “right” safety culture on Leighton Asia projects.
