Challenges & Solutions
Challenge
Working within one of the most stringent OHS environments in Australian manufacturing while delivering complex production line installations and a full facility relocation from Myaree to Forrestfield demanded exceptional safety discipline and technical precision. BlueScope Steel's safety program sets the benchmark for the industry, meaning every electrical activity required comprehensive hazard assessment, permit approval and adherence to corporate safety procedures that exceed standard Australian requirements.
Solution
CPR's team, trained to meet BlueScope's industry-leading safety standards, delivered each project phase with rigorous adherence to permit-to-work systems and staged commissioning protocols. The facility relocation was planned and executed to maintain operational continuity, while fibre optic and data services were integrated seamlessly alongside heavy industrial electrical works. Our long-term familiarity with BlueScope's safety culture and facility operations enabled efficient project delivery with zero safety compromises.
Project Outcome
Successfully managed the complete facility relocation from Myaree to Forrestfield, installed new slitter and re-coiler production lines, implemented a train shunting warning system, and delivered comprehensive fibre optic and data services — all under BlueScope's exacting OHS standards.
