Our Experience With Leighton Contractors

Fast Facts:

FSA has partnered with Leighton Contractors for over 5 years, providing critical safety and emergency response training.
Over 700 personnel trained in confined space entry, fire safety, height safety, and emergency response across major infrastructure and construction projects.
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.

Confined Space Rescue Training for Emergency Responders

Confined space rescue missions are among the most challenging and dangerous scenarios that emergency responders face. From construction sites to industrial settings, confined spaces often present serious risks, including limited access, hazardous gases, and unstable environments. In these high-pressure situations, the speed and safety of responders are crucial in ensuring successful outcomes.

Why Height Safety Training is Critical for Emergency Teams

In emergency situations where rescuers must work at height, height safety training becomes critical. Whether responding to accidents on construction sites, rescuing individuals from industrial towers, or handling high-rise fire emergencies, responders need to be equipped to perform rescues safely and effectively in elevated environments.

Advanced Rescue Equipment for Oil & Gas Sites

Oil and gas sites present some of the most hazardous environments for workers and emergency responders. The combination of dangerous materials, confined spaces, high-pressure systems, and the constant threat of fire or gas leaks makes these environments highly complex and risky.

HAZMAT Safety Training for Emergency Responders

Hazardous materials (HAZMAT) incidents are some of the most dangerous and complex situations that emergency responders face. Whether it’s a chemical spill, a gas leak, or the release of toxic materials, handling hazardous materials safely requires specialized knowledge, equipment, and procedures.
