Proven Success

Hunter Valley Power Station — NSW

A coal-fired power station undertaking a major planned outage involving 800+ contractors across 6 weeks engaged Omnisafe to manage WHS coordination. Omnisafe developed the outage WHS plan, pre-qualified 42 contractors, deployed three WHS Officers across three shifts, and managed daily safety briefings for the duration. The outage was completed with zero LTIs and full compliance with the permit to work system.

Key Outcome

Zero LTIs across 800+ contractors and 6-week major outage — 100% permit to work compliance.
