Two Go West drivers have been praised for their approach to safety.

Peter Newman and Jeremy Barc drive Rio Tinto employees from Meekatharra to the Hope Downs One site and were congratulated by Sodexo Senior Health, Safety and Environment Specialist Toni Wittstock for their knowledge and “high regard for safety and those around them”.

Go West Operations Manager Justin Miller congratulated Peter and Jeremy for their diligence and playing a pivotal role in the route risk assessment and journey management plan.

“Sodexo, Rio Tinto and Go West managers and health and safety teams had an extensive meeting before the contract started and it is pleasing that the drivers picked up where the meeting left off, seamlessly implementing the new route service with a professional and conscientious approach to health and safety,” Justin said.
