Varley Recognised for Eraring Energy's B-safe Program

The Varley team based at Eraring Energy have been recognised for their consistent work with Eraring Energy's B-safe behavioural safety audit program. This includes the many plant fixes Varley completed on the mills to make the job safer and easier. The Varley team members have put in a great effort in this high risk work area with many B-safe observations. Some plant fixes have included extension handles to allow for better access to valves and a ribbon conveyor rotator (as shown in picture) to reduce manual handling. Varley are proud of the team at Eraring Energy who take the opportunity to change unsafe or at risk behaviour to achieve positive outcomes.
