Health, Safety and Environment
At Apollo, HSE isn't just a requirement - it's a mindset.
A Holistic Approach
Apollo's vision extends beyond building safely. We aim to create cohesive environments that actively promote health, safety, and wellbeing for our staff, subcontractors, and all others involved - delivering better outcomes by caring for our people and communities. We believe in achieving this by championing the right attitudes, values and behaviours in every aspect of our work.
We're committed to positive health, safety and environmental outcomes through consistency, care and communication.
Safety by Design
We believe smart design is safe design. By collaborating closely with clients and trades, we identify risks early and build in solutions that make facilities safer to use, maintain, and eventually deconstruct - adding long-term value and peace of mind.
On Site
On site, we focus on the presence of strong, visible defences. Our comprehensive systems, inclusive coordination meetings, and documentation suites ensure everyone is informed, engaged, and protected. We foster a culture of open communication and shared responsibility, backed by regular audits, inspections, training, and leadership involvement.
Continuous Improvement
HSE is never static. We actively learn from our projects, sharing insights and innovations across our teams and with our clients. Our leadership is hands-on in driving improvement, ensuring our standards evolve and our people thrive.
Environmental Commitment
Like everything we do at Apollo, our approach to sustainability is focused on doing better. Through smarter design, practical decision-making and a commitment to continuous improvement, we're reducing our environmental impact across both our projects and our business. Our Toitū Carbon Reduce certification and ISO 14001 accreditation help keep us accountable and moving forward.
Critical Risks
To support our HSE vision of delivering better outcomes, we’ve introduced ‘non-negotiables’ for our critical risks (the activities that carry heavy potential to cause life-changing harm), to protect ourselves, our teammates, and everyone around us.
Our non-negotiables are about equipping people with the knowledge and confidence to make safe choices, every day. And there are no exceptions. Every person - whether an employee, subcontractor, client, partner, or other - shares responsibility for upholding our non-negotiables on site.
Our critical risk non-negotiables are safeguards with clear expectations, grounded in real experiences and lessons learned across industry. They exist because we care about the safety of our people, and when it comes to critical risks, there are no second chances.
