Health & Safety
We believe that sound safety and occupational health management practices are in the best interests of our employees, our business, our shareholders and the communities in which we operate.
For us, the only acceptable health and safety goal is to eliminate injury and job-related illness. We believe that this goal is achievable, and progress toward it enhances both the wellbeing of employees and the success of our operations.
We are committed to performing every job in a safe and healthy manner. Work related injury or illness is unacceptable and we are committed to the identification, elimination or control of workplace hazards for the protection of ourselves and others. Accordingly, we will:
- Provide the expertise and resources needed to maintain safe and healthy working environments
- Establish clearly defined safety and occupational health programs and measure safety and health performance, making improvements as warranted
- Operate in accordance with recognized industry standards, while complying with all applicable regulations
- Investigate the causes of accidents and incidents and develop effective and immediate preventative and remedial action
- Train our employees to carry out their jobs safely and productively
- Maintain a high degree of emergency preparedness
- Require that vendors and contractors comply with all applicable safety and health standards
