Equality, diversity and sustainability
Southern Explosives Supplies is committed to a workplace, project environment and supply chain built on respect, fairness and responsible conduct.
We provide equal opportunity and do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, bullying, victimisation, forced labour or any other form of modern slavery. Employment and business decisions are based on capability, conduct, project requirements and the opportunity for people to develop.
We value the contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, women and people of different cultures, backgrounds, ages, abilities and experiences. SES seeks practical opportunities to strengthen participation through recruitment, training, career development, local employment and supplier engagement. We aim to build respectful relationships with Traditional Owners, communities, employees, clients and suppliers, recognising the importance of Country and long-term regional partnerships.
Our approach to sustainability is practical and connected to the work. We plan drilling and blasting to meet site controls, protect land and water, reduce unnecessary disturbance and make efficient use of people, plant and materials. Accurate drilling, appropriate blast design, maintained equipment, spill prevention, responsible explosives management, efficient mobilisation, waste reduction and monitoring of vibration, airblast, dust and noise all support safer and more sustainable outcomes.
