Health & Safety Policy

Title
1. POLICY STATEMENT

Text

All workers have the right to work in a safe and healthy environment.

At Alectra, we are committed to working in partnership with our Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) representatives to provide safe and healthy working conditions for the prevention of work- related injury and ill-health.

We believe that a strong safety culture is based on the Internal Responsibility System where everyone has duties and responsibilities:

  • Senior management is ultimately accountable for the overall H&S performance of the organization.
  • Supervisors are responsible for maintaining H&S standards in their work areas, addressing H&S concerns, and ensuring that all workers under their supervision work in compliance with legislated standards, corporate policies, procedures, work practices and rules.
  • Everyone working for or on behalf of Alectra must work in compliance with legislated and Corporate H&S standards including working in a manner that does not endanger themselves or others and reporting all hazards, unsafe conditions, unsafe acts, near misses, incidents, and injuries.

To achieve our H&S objectives, Alectra has developed an H&S Management System which is dedicated to the prevention of injury and ill-health, promotes compliance with legal and other requirements and addresses the following critical system elements:

  • Implement risk management based on the hierarchy of controls.
  • Communicate applicable control programs to everyone working for or on behalf of Alectra through training and awareness.
  • Audit compliance with the control programs.
  • Implement corrective actions when non-compliance with a control program is discovered.
  • Be reviewed regularly by senior management to ensure effectiveness and continual improvement.
