Corporate Health and Safety

The following are key elements which form the stepping stones that establish an effective and compliant Health and Safety Management System.

  •   Management Involvement and Commitment

Enlist all levels of management in responsibility and accountability to provide and support ongoing health and safety leadership training, participation in health and safety meetings, work site inspection tours and incident investigations.

  •  Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

As an Occupational Health and Safety requirement, we will incorporate documents and programs ensuring employees assess all work sites for existing and potential hazards before any work begins

  •  Hazard Control

Identify and inform management and all workers on use of personal protective equipment, development of administrative controls and the incorporation of engineering controls in every effort to meet rules and regulations as employers take all reasonable steps to eliminate or control identified hazards for a safer workplace

  •  Training

Incorporate a company and industry compliant training program to ensure all workers are competent to perform their assigned duties

  •   Emergency Response Planning

We will coordinate and facilitate necessary training for workers, inform the  public and protect the environment in adherence with the law that states employers must include affected workers in establishing an emergency response plan that may require rescue or evacuation

  •  Incident Reporting & Investigation

A reporting and investigating system will be developed for implementing, informing and training all workers on the value of determining the root cause, establishing controls to prevent recurrence, identifying trends and allowing the organization to demonstrate commitment reducing near-misses and incidents in the workplace

  •  Communication

We can provide and incorporate varied levels and sources of communication techniques into the program encouraging employers and worker participation of policies and procedures to perform work safely.
