Our Experience With Leighton Contractors

Fast Facts:

  • FSA has partnered with Leighton Contractors for over 5 years, providing critical safety and emergency response training.

  • Training programs tailored to meet the unique safety challenges of large-scale construction and engineering environments.

Safety Training for Large-Scale Construction & Infrastructure Projects

Leighton Contractors, now part of CIMIC Group, operates in high-risk environments, including large infrastructure, tunnelling, and civil construction projects. Fire and Safety Australia (FSA) has worked closely with Leighton Contractors to deliver comprehensive, site-specific training that ensures all employees and contractors are equipped with the necessary skills to manage workplace hazards and respond effectively to emergencies.

Comprehensive Safety Training Solutions

FSA provided Leighton Contractors personnel with the following training programs:

  • Confined Space Entry and Rescue Training
  • Height Safety and Rescue Training
  • Fire Safety and Fire Warden Training
  • Emergency Response and Evacuation Training
  • Gas Detection and Breathing Apparatus Training

On-Site and Practical Training Delivery

FSA delivered training both on-site at Leighton Contractors’ project locations and at regional training centres to ensure accessibility for workers across multiple job sites. On-site training provided real-world, hands-on learning experiences in construction environments, ensuring workers were confident in applying safety procedures relevant to their job roles. Off-site training options also allowed flexibility for workers with rotating shifts or site constraints.

Enhancing Workplace Safety and Compliance

FSA’s training programs have helped Leighton Contractors strengthen safety compliance and foster a proactive safety culture. By incorporating project-specific hazards and emergency scenarios into the training, FSA has contributed to reducing incidents and ensuring that employees are well-prepared to handle high-risk tasks safely. This approach not only mitigates safety risks but also improves operational efficiency by promoting a safer working environment.
