ALL-ENERGY EXPO 2019

October 22nd to 24th was a big few days for the renewable energy industry with the All-Energy Expo and Clean Energy Council Careers Expo!

The Leeson Group team who attended to support and assist the event were thrilled to see such a large amount of individuals and companies, excited for the progression of a better future for Australians.

HEALTH & SAFETY

While we celebrate the many positive outcomes in the renewable energy industry, Leeson Group's focus on the event was a crucial yet unfortunately overlooked solar industry matter, Health and Safety.

Peter Leeson (Director of Leeson Group) chaired the Health and Safety Presentation with panellists Annie Panow (Psycholgostist at AccessEAP), Cameron Ellis (Senior Construction Advisor and Technical Inspector at WorkSafe), Shenae Williams (Senior Associate at PWC) and Glenn Heatley (Height Safety Consultant at New Heights Training).

With Peter Leeson spearheading the leadership toward Health and Safety, every job at Leeson Group implements measures to ensure that safety hazards are identified and controlled before our installers access the roof.

While this may sometimes increase the job's timeframe and costs for a client, this is something we do not budge on. Our staff's health and safety are paramount, and we encourage the industry to follow suit in keeping our installers safe.
