About Partners Safety Management
Partners and subcontractors working for Ausgrid must first be registered in the Ausgrid Partners Safety Management System (APSMS) if requested to do so.
The online system underscores the Ausgrid commitment to the health, safety and wellbeing of everyone working for us. It allows Ausgrid and its partners and subcontractors to manage a shared duty of care and meet health and safety obligations.
Please note: you should only follow the compliance process if you have been requested to do so by Ausgrid.

Subcontractors (who do not invoice Ausgrid directly) will register and book their workers into inductions they must complete to work for Ausgrid. All workers must be able to present Ausgrid access ID card at site.
