Airport Development Group Supports National Safety Month

"Our commitment to safety extends beyond compliance—it's about creating a culture where every individual feels responsible and empowered to contribute to a safe environment."

ADG Employees at Safety Month 2024

This October, Airport Development Group (ADG) is proud to support the National Safety Month campaign, coordinated by Safe Work Australia under the theme “Safety is Everyone’s Business.”


At ADG, we are committed to fostering safe and healthy workplaces for all Australians. As Sandra De Kock, Executive General Manager - People, Culture & Community, highlights: "Our commitment to safety extends beyond compliance—it's about creating a culture where every individual feels responsible and empowered to contribute to a safe environment."


ADG kicked off the campaign with a well-attended event coordinated by Steve Caldwell, our Health & Safety Manager. We were pleased to have 24 staff attend in person and another 28 join online. This campaign is a great reminder that workplace safety is a shared responsibility, and we are proud to be part of this national effort.


National Safety Month is an initiative of Safe Work Australia, the national policy agency responsible for WHS and workers' compensation arrangements in Australia. Since 2009, Safe Work Australia has run this campaign each October to raise awareness of WHS and provide resources for workplaces across the country.


Together, let’s commit to building a safer workplace!
