Sunset Sleepers: Growing with safety in mind

A worker driving a forklift truck picks up concrete sleepers. The worker does this outside in the factory yard.

Sunset Sleepers, maker of concrete sleepers, has grown since beginning in 2014. In 2021, a change in ownership led to a new strategic direction.

“With the company expanding, we wanted to make sure our site was safe and we trained staff in OHS," Wendy said. This led Sunset Sleepers to join the OHS Essentials Program.

Frank Rizzo was their independent OHS Essentials consultant. Over three site visits, Frank provided support, insights and solutions. The recommendations helped Sunset Sleepers make changes to improve safety.

For Wendy, the program was an invaluable learning experience.

“I had limited knowledge of OHS. This program improved my understanding and helped me to educate staff,” said Wendy.

“The program highlighted the importance of workplace safety,” Wendy shared. The business improved procedures and put regular safety checks in place. This in turn fostered a safer and more informed workplace safety culture.
