With collaborating key suppliers Aury Australia, Elastomers Australia, Freo Group, and client Jellinbah Group, the CHPP screen and new centrifuge were painted blue and pink, then installed in the wash plant.

The unmistakable colours will stand to remind staff and visitors of the importance of breast and prostate cancer awareness and personal prevention action.

The initiative is part of local fundraising and awareness for the Breast and Prostate Cancer Association Qld Inc.

Employees and invited guests from the association and breast cancer nurses from Emerald witnessed the screens being lifted and installed.

Thiess Lake Vermont project manager Adam Schloss said this was a great collaborative community effort.

"Our workforce wanted to support a local initiative and we are very pleased at the way this has all come together," he said.

"Continued health awareness is part of our core approach to the overall safety and health of our workforce and the community we work in."

A number of site suppliers donated to support the work of the Breast and Prostate Cancer Association Qld Inc, which includes funding for specialist nurses, further professional education, emergency patient assistance, establishing committees and community education, supporting cancer care nurses and investing in research.

Thiess also introduced pink PPE shirts to support of breast cancer awareness, which further brightened the event.
