workplace for all its employees, contractors
and third parties who are impacted by
our business activities, and will strive

damage. The Corporation will provide and
encourage the participation of every person
in achieving a healthy and safe workplace.
The Corporation endorses the principle
that health and safety must be an integral
part of all its processes and operations.
It accepts that no job is given such urgency,
or importance, that personal safety is
set aside to achieve it.
The Corporation's obligation, and the
responsibility of all its employees, to
report or rectify any unsafe conditions,
promotes safe working practices and encourages
the adoption of safe work habits.
The Corporation will commit to continual
improvement in its health and safety performance,
and aspire to a goal of zero harm to its
employees.
The Corporation expects its employees
to take every reasonable care for their
own health and safety and that of others
in the workplace. They will use all safeguards
and safety equipment provided, and will
report all accidents, injuries, near misses,
incidents and unsafe conditions to their
supervisors immediately.
The Corporation will endeavour to secure
the effective rehabilitation of any employee
who may suffer an injury arising out of,
or incurred during, the course of their
employment. The Corporation will not knowingly
continue to employ any person who willfully
violates health and safety procedures,
or endangers themselves, and others.
The Corporation will ensure that its
managers and supervisors are responsible
for ensuring that employees receive training
in safe work practices and that the Corporation's
health and safety standards are applied
to all its employees, contractors and
visitors to its workplace.
