SECURITY
DOTARS is the agency responsible for implementation of the International Maritime Organisation requirements for port and port facility security throughout Australia.
DOTARS has approved Maritime Security Plans for nine PCQ ports:- Hay Point
- Abbot Point
- Lucinda
- Mourilyan
- Cape Flattery
- Thursday Island
- Weipa
- Karumba
These ports are security regulated ports under the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act 2003 (MTOFSA).
The ports of Maryborough, Cooktown, Quintell Beach, Skardon River and Burketown are not security regulated ports under the MTOFSA. PCQ has no staff or facilities in these ports. Therefore, security regulated ships are responsible for ensuring the security of their operations conducted in these ports.
PCQ complies fully with the requirements of the MTOFSA and Regulations. Port Security Committee meetings are held approximately every six months for each port to coordinate effective security measures across the whole port area.
WORKPLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY
PCQ conducts its activities to provide a work environment that protects the health, safety and welfare of all people in its workplaces. PCQ uses a risk-management approach to identify potential workplace risks and implements appropriate controls to manage risks to an acceptable level.
Workplace health & safety audits are carried out on all PCQ workplaces annually.
PCQ’s Workplace Health, Safety and Environment Committee, which includes both management and staff representatives, meets quarterly to review PCQ’s safety and environmental performance.
