In today's global and national economies, businesses increasingly outsource parts of their activities and processes. This trend, and the growing importance of supply chains, has implications for the health and safety of workers in suppliers and contracting companies.
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology operates in a range of environments, both in Australia and overseas.
From remote field stations to aid projects in the Pacific, the Bureau employs or contracts workers from many cultures, in unfamiliar situations, and often working in difficult environments. It provides critical, specialised information and advice – and its workers face some unexpected risks.
Two senior leaders from the Bureau discuss how they manage these risks and avoid complacency. They also talk about the challenges and opportunities that supply chain relationships offer to help improve work health and safety – by what they leave behind after the job is done, as well as how work is managed during the project.
