At Evolution, risk management is built into the very foundation of Evolution. It’s part of The Evolution Way, our guiding business principles.

At Evolution, we manage risk through a formal, documented risk management process aligned with Australian Standard AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 “Risk Management – Principles and Guidelines”. This involves a five-step process as indicated in the diagram below: Risk management at Evolution is covered in Evolution’s Business Management System (BMS). The BMS includes all aspects of managing risk from Group Policies to Organizational Structure to Business Performance Management and Procedures and Forms. More information on Evolution’s BMS is available upon request.SafetyEvolution Safety Management System At Evolution, safety is paramount and crucial to our operations…safety on every job, every day. Evolution uses the risk management process to minimise the risk of injury or illness to our personnel, our client’s personnel, road workers and the travelling public.This process allows us to implement the most appropriate control measures through our Workplace Health and Safety Management System and reduce risk. We strive to use the most effective control measures as ranked by the Hierarchy of Control from elimination of risk down to the last resort of PPE, as indicated in the diagram below:  Our Safety system forms the basis of inductions, training and on-site audits. We regularly review the system as part of our continuous improvement process to ensure a safe working environment. At Evolution we recognise that a safe workplace is a team effort which is facilitated through consultation, our Safety Committee and our ‘Safety Starts with Me’ programme. All personnel from our traffic control personnel to the Group CEO are accountable and have a responsibility to ensure a safe working environment. Our Safety System and Procedures are communicated and reiterated to our personnel regularly through:
This means that you can be assured that by engaging Evolution, you are making the safest choice you can make.
Evolution is certified to ISO 9001:2008. The Evolution Quality System is included in Evolution’s Business Management System (BMS). As part of our worksite quality standards, Evolution supervisors coordinate and schedule daily site visits and inspections. Supervisors undertake random and programmed inspections of traffic control worksites across all depots, including remote areas. Supervisors utilize the unique Evolution Traffic Controller Assessment System for the assessment of traffic controllers. All traffic controllers must be assessed at least monthly by an Operations Supervisor as the minimum requirement. Controllers who require additional training are re-assessed the next day. In reality, most Evolution Supervisors undertake formal assessments whenever they visit their sites so that all of our controllers are assessed every 4 weeks. The Operations Supervisors also have KPIs linked to their position descriptions that require the completion of traffic assessments for all traffic controllers they manage. During the financial year FY10/11 Evolution Operation Supervisors completed a total of 12,391 traffic controller assessments, an average of 10 competency assessments, each year, for every traffic controller. The impact for you, our client, is that Evolution provides you with the safety and quality systems that actually operate in practice and can be attested to by all Evolution clients which is why people often say “you can tell when you drive through an Evolution site”.
