Our Program
No matter how well we’ve done in the past we feel there is always room to improve. That is why we employ a full time National Construction Safety Officer (NCSO) and ask our employees to help us ensure our safety program is continuously adapting and upgrading.
To ensure the continued success of our program, the key components include:
Annual Review of our program including both management and employee participation.
Incident & Near Miss Investigation to learn from past experiences and take steps to prevent future reoccurrence
Conducting both formal and informal safety inspections to ensure we are living up to our own standards. These inspections include all facets of our company and are completed by our in-house NCSO, management, on-site supervisors and employees.
We are members of ComplyWorks, Avetta & ISNetworld and all of our customers are always welcome to review or audit our program any time they wish.
Training workers to ensure competency. Minimum training includes H2S Alive, 1st Aid, CPR, WHMIS, CSTS, Leadership for Safety Excellence (all foreman), Ground Disturbance (equipment operators) and any applicable trades certification. We also ensure all employees have the proper class of license and verify driver's abstract before they operate any of our vehicles. We are members of both ComplyWorks & ISNetworld and all of our customers are always welcome to review or audit our program any time they wish.
