Rusca Environmental Solutions (RES) has joined Safer Together as its first member to call Darwin ‘home’. To celebrate this occasion and to strengthen engagement with businesses in the Territory, Safer Together WA/NT is looking north in July and will conduct a series of events in Darwin.
RES is part of the Rusca Group of Companies, an indigenous, Territory owned and operated company. They provide Waste Management, Recycling, Industrial and Environmental Services to the oil and gas, heavy industrial and mining markets. RES is headquartered in Darwin and has a national presence with offices and projects in Qld, NSW, WA and SA.
Asher Ryall, General Manager, RES explains, “Rusca Environmental Solutions is very pleased to be the first NT organization to join Safer Together. An unrelenting focus on safety performance and quality improvement is inherent in everything we do across the supply chain in the Oil and Gas industry. It makes absolute sense to become a member of Safer Together and collaborate on the development of tools and resources that will directly improve safety outcomes for our people, our customers and our contractors”.
Safer Together is delighted to have RES on board as our first member with Headquarters in Darwin. Involving companies like RES, to provide input with a truly Territorian outlook, will help us collaborate to improve safety across our entire value chain.
We now seek further involvement from companies in the Northern Territory. We will build on our earlier engagement via the Energy Club Northern Territory.
