Proudly Zimbabwean — Civil Engineering & Construction

Zero Harm Commitment

Health Safety Environment & Quality

Health, Safety, Environment and Quality are central to the Taurus delivery model. Premium construction cannot exist without disciplined safety systems, strong supervision, quality assurance, and responsible environmental controls.

HSEQ Commitment

The Taurus
Delivery Model

The Taurus standard is clear: deliver work that is safe, compliant, traceable, durable, and professionally controlled at every stage.

Health & Safety

Safe production through planning, induction, method statements, daily controls, supervision, hazard identification, task-specific risk management, and compliance with site safety standards.

Quality

Quality is built into the process from the start through scope review, material compliance, inspections, testing, workmanship monitoring, snag control, and structured handover.

Environment

Environmental responsibility integrated into daily site operations through waste management, pollution prevention, drainage protection, dust suppression, resource awareness, and community care.

HSEQ Standard

Work is managed through disciplined controls so every stage remains safe, compliant, traceable, durable, and professionally controlled from mobilisation to handover.

Zero Harm

Health & Safety Policy

OUR COMMITMENT: Taurus Civils is committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for employees, subcontractors, visitors, and all persons affected by our work.

No job is so urgent that it
cannot be done safely.

We Will Always:

  • Comply with Zimbabwe OHS legal requirements and all client/site safety rules.
  • Identify hazards, assess risks, and apply controls before work starts and whenever conditions change.

  • Ensure training, inductions, and toolbox talks are conducted and recorded.
  • Provide and enforce the correct PPE for every task and site.
  • Report, investigate, and learn from incidents and near misses to prevent recurrence.

Everyone Must:

  • Take reasonable care for your safety and the safety of others around you.
  • Follow method statements, permits, and supervisor instructions at all times.
  • Wear PPE correctly and keep it in good condition throughout the workday.
