Safety and Work Ethics notice JANUARY 2022
It has recently come to the attention of the DCS Administrative staff and myself that our DCS Values and Work Ethics are not currently being upheld by our tightknit working group. Below are the four (4) main points of discussion that we will be touching on briefly. If our ethics are not upheld after this communication, further actions will be sought out.
- “Many hands make light work” – multiple reports of late have come back from both peers and site personal that although all crews are filled with sufficient staff, not all are pulling their weight. This needs to be addressed ASAP, as this effects all future DCS Works, as well as your individual names, and in turn wages. No works = no shifts. We understand at times, breaks are needed – and we support this. We ask that everyone give 110% to their designated roles, ask questions if you are unsure and communicate with your DCS Supervisors and Administrative staff.
- Smoking on/around a Mine Site – this issue is highly frowned upon on the job and specifically at non smoking sites, and goes against your signed DCS Contracts as noted in clause 13.5 (below). All DCS employees are to abide by this clause for all future works moving forward. If this occurs, further actions will need to be taken. Furthermore if witnessed by Site Representatives this could lead to instant dismissal/site ban. Feel free to smoke once off shift/out of DCS property.
- Occupational Health and Safety
- The Employer provides a smoke free work environment and therefore smoking is strictly prohibited on the Employer’s premises, the Employer’s motor vehicles, and on site at a client’s premises.
- No show’s for rostered works – this is poor character. A phone call, email or text message is sufficient and courteous enough to inform administrative staff you are unavailable, a complete no show from the beginning – makes yourself look unreliable (for any future works) as well as marks DCS with a red cross in a number of departments across sites. All we ask is to communicate.
- Work Ethics defined: “a set of values cantered on the importance of doing work and reflected especially in a desire or determination to work hard”.
- Reports have come to our attention that some DCS Staff aren’t upholding the DCS Work Ethics, these reports are not what DCS hold ourselves on. DCS pride ourselves on Dedication, Compassion and Safety. Please take this into consideration when next on shift, take the moment to STOP and think “is what I am about to” reflect poorly on myself/my employer, LOOK “to see if any other employees are in the same frame of mind about the task/issue” ALERT “ if you are with someone/multiple people who are not working to the DCS standards, please inform your site supervisor, DCS administrative staff or myself (Justin).
On a more positive note we do want to thank those who have been communicating with us, showing up and putting in the hard work responding to training and helping with our questions while Jacqui is away. With special mention to Lisha, Ryan Vanderhulle and Ethan Winzer who have been awarded this week at Thiess thank you. And to Vagi, Helen, Chris, Thomas, Jonathan and Callan, Kerrie-ann has made special mentioned with your help with the schedule this is greatly valued, especially with our team unwell.
We are a team and we are only at our best together not as individuals,
Yours sincerely,
Justin Goodwin

Strictly NO SMOKING in vehicles
PLEASE TAKE NOTE – (STRICTLY NO SMOKING IN DCS VEHICLES) DCS DO NOT TOLORATE ANY SMOKING IN VEHCILES. It has come to our attention that DCS18 our brand new light vehicle has smoke ash throughout the vehicle. If you are the responsible person, please come and see me.[/alert][alert type=”warning”]Speeding in DCS Vehicles – Over the last couple of weeks I have been viewing the GPS trackers on vehicle’s . I have notice a lot of speeding with vehicles, I understand you are all keen to get home after work, but DCS want to see you all get home safely. This is a warning to all staff that are driving DCS vehicles to stay within the speed limits and drive to the conditions, I will be monitoring this over the next few months. It has been brought to my attention from the workshop mechanic, that the vehicles are gathering very fine dust inside. Could we please at all time keep windows closed as they all have operating air conditionings and there is no need for the windows to be down on haul roads. This is a reminder that there is strictly no smoking prohibited in DCS vehicle.
Zero tolerance for Bullying and Harassment
Please note this is a reminder of our zero tolerance policy regarding sexual or any other form of harassment by anyone in our company, including directors, managers, supervisors and employees. Harassment of any kind is prohibited against a fellow employee, contractors and vendors. Harassment can come in many different forms and can be verbal, nonverbal and/or sexual in nature. We must all take proactive measures to be sure employees are aware of, understand and abide by our companies policy. As you know, we also discuss these topics in our staff meetings. We are committed to continuing to work hard to provide a good and safe work environment for all employees. That includes a zero tolerance policy for all forms of workplace harassment. Please review the attached DCS workplace harassment policy. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.
