Quality Health Safety and Environment Standards
TGI are responsible for the movement of extensive project cargo, which often weighs a lot, is extremely expensive and is often costly and difficult to replace. We regularly partner with billion dollar global corporations and government departments that need their equipment delivered to schedule. Overruns would cost hundreds of thousands in lost production, project overrun or opportunity costs. Managing these projects with a high attention to quality, health, safety and environmental standards is at the core of our business.
TGI is highly vigilant to ensure that we meet all the QHSE standards that are expected in international logistics and always seek project and process improvement. We have met and passed ISO 9001 Quality Management accreditation and the AS 4801 Health and Safety standard.
QHSE Standard Documentation is rolled out in the following areas of our business for maximum improvement.

Safety and Risk Management
TGI has policies and procedures to address risk management across its operations. Risks may arise from matters such as occupational health and safety, business continuity, contractual obligations, financial and capital management, risk financing and insurance, and development and use of information systems and technology. Managing significant joint venture relationships and the growth in TGI’s offices are also key business areas that must be effectively managed.
The policy was developed with reference to the relevant Australian/New Zealand risk management standard AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009.
TGI recognises that risk management is an integral part of good management practice and is committed to establishing an organisational culture that ensures risk management is embedded in company activities and business processes.
TGI will evaluate potential benefits alongside potential risks as a routine part of its business planning processes. Where the balance of advantage favours a particular activity or initiative, the identified risks will be planned for and managed, taking account of TGI's objectives and priorities.
Risks will be managed at operational level in accordance with this policy.
