About Core
Core Contracting Group's 'can do' reputation reflects a deep understanding of the industrial environments we work in.
Core's founders, Jarrod Bennell and Shane Duhau, have lived and breathed industry throughout their working lives, starting out as apprentices, honing their skills 'on the tools', and then moving into industrial management before establishing Core Contracting Group in 2003.
The company's record of flexibility, responsive service and workplace safety has seen Core Contracting Group become a preferred supplier for project management and labour hire.

Testimonials
Core provided us with a sophisticated and professional service that needed little supervision from us to complete the job satisfactorily. The management and the staff have many years practical experience and this hands-on background ensures a keen understanding of on-site issues. However, this knowledge never compromises their ability to return quotes or other requests for information in a timely manner."
Nick Connellan, Connellan Industries Pty Ltd
The guys at Core offer an excellent short notice service, often helping us through a potentially costly crisis. We have used their services on numerous occasions to cover a variety of our needs from basic maintenance to high level fault finding and breakdown work"

Safety Policy
Introduction
Core Contracting Group P/L Occupational Health and Safety Management Plan is intended to be used as a master framework to guide and advise Management through the Systems (Procedures, Instructions, Forms etc) applicable to staff, employees and sub-contractors working as part of the Core Contracting Group P/L operations.
It defines and explains the procedures by which Core Contracting Group P/L will ensure that the work place, practices & activities are safe for employees, uses environmentally sound work practices, and delivers customer requirements right, first time, every time. By placing all these requirements in a single document, it is intended that the methods by which these objectives are delivered are readily accessible, available and applied. The procedures, forms and attendant documentation are tools and aids to complete the daily tasks undertaken by personnel.
The OH&S Management Plan and Systems shall be adopted and fully implemented by all Core Contracting Group P/L personnel. Implementation of the Plan and Systems will be verified by scheduled; periodic audits / inspections performed by suitably qualified company personnel and external agencies.
The OH&S Management Plan and Systems has a focus to ensure that consistent service is delivered to all customers and clients, regardless of location. Site specific documentation and systems may only be developed following consultation with Core Contracting Group P/L Quality Assurance representative, who will review the request for other implications prior to authorising. It is anticipated that very few systems will be applicable to a specific site or project only.
Local site knowledge and experience are recognised as the main source of identifying opportunities for improvement to the system. If it is considered that changes are required to either the OH&S Management Plan, any of the Systems contained within, or that additional Systems are required, individuals are required to bring this to the attention of the Quality Assurance Management by way of a Document Issue/Change Request.
The OH&S Management Plan and Systems Master Copies are held at Core Contracting Group P/L offices. Each individual responsible person will be issued with and trained in the use and applications of a “hard” controlled complete copy of the OH&S Management Plan and all applicable Systems. Additionally, relevant management and supervisors will be issued with and trained in the use of “hard” controlled copies of the sections applicable to their respective positions.
Recognising that some personnel may need additional sections of “hard” controlled copies, Core Contracting Group P/L Document Controller (normally Supervisor) will be authorised to issue extra copies required in their respective areas of responsibility.
If not a designated holder of a controlled copy of a document, the Core Contracting Group P/L document controller must be contacted to issue additional controlled copies.
