Safety

It is the policy of Everflo Compression Ltd. to provide a safe workplace environment for our workers and subcontractors. The Safety and Loss Prevention Program is designed with this goal in mind and is the shared responsibility of every worker and subcontractor. Working together, we are able not only to attain excellence in all aspects of our operation but also to maintain a safety record that will be the envy of the industry.

At Everflo Compression Ltd., we believe an effective safety and loss prevention program is the cornerstone of good operating practice. It is our policty to:

• Provide training as requires.
• Conduct hazard assessments.
• Use CSA-approved or comparable personal protective equipment as needed.
• Properly maintain tools, equipment and facilities.
• Conduct informal and formal inspections to find and correct any unsafe acts or conditions.
• Investigate all incidents and accidents with the objective of preventing recurrence.

Managers must not only promote and demonstrate safe work practices but also ensure subcontractors and workers understand their responsibility to work safely. Managers, subcontractors and workers are accountable for their actions and decisions. Failure to comply with safety policies, practices and procedures will be cause for disciplinary action that may include suspension, dismissal or contract cancellation if warranted. Remember, safety is as important as production, quality and cost control. If you have any safety-related questions or are unsure of how to complete an assigned task, ask your supervisor or Everflo Compression Ltd. Project Manager for assistance.

Although Everflo Compression Ltd. policies, practices and procedures are in compliance with or exceed current Occupational Health and Safety requirements, they do not take precedence over O.H.&S. Regulations nor are they required to exceed legislated regulations. Managers, workers, and subcontractors must ensure they operate within the rules and regulations governing their specific place of operation.

Remember, government regulations are LAW. If the company, its works or sobcontractors fail to comply with the regulations, the officers of the company and/or subcontractors, supervisors or workers will be held accountable and may be prosecuted. Thus, maintaining a safe work site is everyone’s responsibility and is in your best interest. Observe the law and work safely. Everyone is counting on you.
