Health, Safety and Environment
ShawCor’s vision is an Incident
and Injury Free workplace, with no harm to people and no
damage to the environment.
The company is committed to providing a safe
and healthy workplace and ensuring that all business activities
are conducted in a manner that protects the environment. The
aims of this policy shall be achieved at all company locations
by adhering to the following principles:
- Identification and evaluation of all HSE hazards or aspects
and the management of their risks or impacts to acceptable
levels.
- Compliance with all applicable HSE legislation.
- Prevention of accidents, injuries, and pollution.
- Intolerance of the conditions and behaviours that contribute
to incidents and injuries.
- Reduction of waste and conservation of resources.
- Recording and communicating HSE performance throughout
the organization.
- Continual improvement of HSE performance.
The President and senior
management shall visibly uphold the principles of this policy
and integrate them throughout the company, while the Board
of Directors of ShawCor shall regularly review HSE performance.
Management
and supervisory personnel at each division and location shall
be responsible for implementing and maintaining the HSE management
system necessary to sustain this policy. Contractors and Subcontractors
shall work in accordance with this policy and comply with applicable
HSE legislation. Regular HSE audits shall be done to determine
conformance to the management system.
Every employee, whose
work may create a significant HSE impact, shall be trained
and held accountable for complying with the policy and related
procedures, practices, instructions and rules. Working safely
and in an environmentally appropriate manner are conditions
of employment. Each employee has a duty to report workplace
conditions or practices that pose a safety hazard or threaten
the environment and to take reasonable actions to alleviate
such risks.
Everyone is responsible for recognizing that
by risking incident or injury, they are putting in jeopardy
what they value and those they care for.
