At Hooker Engineering Australia the quote “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act but a habit” resonates with our team and we feel is very applicable in HSEQ space.

Quality Assurance – Quality not Quantity

We strongly feel that many people mistakenly correlate quality with the volume of documents that can be incorporated into a manufacturers test record or an inspection test plan. However at Hooker Engineering Australia we feel this is only a very small component of achieving a quality outcome.

First and foremost a quality result requires scrutinising and optimising every intricate aspect of the engineering design, selecting the most suitable technical product for the application and incorporating all possible refinements for ease of operation and maintenance wherever possible.  Clear instruction to our skillful fabrication and assembly artisans with key areas monitored for correctness.  We provide rigorous testing and site commissioning as well as ongoing support for our customers by competent persons with continuity of personnel along the way (supported by a practical quality system with a sensible level of documentation). At Hooker Engineering Australia these are our quality habits which are instilled and shared by all our team members and we practice these every day and on every job.

Health and Safety

Similarly, as a focused and dedicated team looking after the health, safety and wellbeing of those around us (and the environment) is a habit. This extends to our customers and external stakeholders who we interact with directly or in-directly via the operation and maintenance of our systems. One area that we focus on is the training and mentoring of personnel. We feel it is imperative that all team members steadily increase their skills and knowledge in a safe environment as too often incidents happen due to a lack of familiarity or understanding of the equipment or task. We have all the formal processes and systems in place behind us to support these habits.
