Committed to Safety: Visy Expands Pegasus Solution

After success in Tumut, NSW, Visy is ready to grow its Pegasus solution to two new states.

Visy, a global leader in the packaging, paper and resource recovery industries, has been operating in Australia for over 70 years. They introduced a Pegasus Contractor Management System to their Pulp and Paper mill in Tumut, NSW a couple of years ago, and have become a valued and vital leader in our manufacturing solution ever since. Approximately 700,00 tonnes of paper per year is milled at Tumut, and they ship to over 50 countries.

The success of our solution – which retains the qualifications and data of over 3,000 contractors, qualified and ready to work at the Tumut mill – means Visy will be expanding it to three new sites in Victoria and Queensland.

The Gibson Island (Queensland) and Reservoir and Coolaroo (Victoria) sites are recycled paper mills. The Pegasus Manufacturing team can’t wait to welcome hundreds of new contractors ready to prove they have the systems and qualifications to partner with Visy and produce quality results.

Visy Pegasus Fast Facts

• Approx. 1,500 workers from over 200 companies are involved in the Major Shutdown (MSD) in Tumut each October. The scope of works is worth $25M and is completed within two weeks.
• 1,000 new workers registered for the MSD in 2018.
• We expect another 600 companies and their associated workers will join the solution when it’s expanded to Reservoir, Coolaroo and Gibson Island.

New Visy Worker Portal

On the topic of expansion – Visy has now implemented the Pegasus Worker Portal for contractor workers! This portal allows workers to manage their own profile and compliance once registered by their company. Workers can edit their personal information, add work roles, update competencies, and upload any required licences.

Some great time-saving safety solutions at work here!
