ZERO IN ON SAFETY - FOR LIFE!
Given the nature of the work on industrial sites, some might question if achieving zero safety incidents is attainable. When it comes to safety, zero is the only number that’s acceptable to us. We strongly believe that zero is achievable through pro-active focus, proper job planning, sincere commitment and a ‘safety first’ attitude.
Every minute, every hour, every day without an injury or incident is a victory and we celebrate those achievements as a significant part of our company’s success. When we achieve zero, it means everyone on our team goes home safely.
Westwood Electric's safety culture has grown out of a desire to outperform industry standards. We strive to do everything we can to ensure the well-being of our team and those working around us.
We've proudly achieved Certificate of Recognition (COR) accreditation in British Columbia that we actively maintain through annual HSE program audits.
We take a proactive approach to managing every element of a project from estimating through to successful project completion. Safety is no exception .
Based on the project scope of work, a site specific hazard assessment/risk register is developed outlining predicted hazards and suitable control measures to mitigate these identified risks.
We also develop other relevant documents such as:
On project award, this information is finalized and communicated to our project team on site to ensure worker awareness and promote safe completion of the project.
These site specific documents are used in conjunction with processes and procedures within our HSE Management System manual, our Quality Management System (QMS) and client site safety standards.
We are very sensitive to the impact our operations may have on the environment. Prevention of environmental spills, leaks and incidents is an equally important element in our company wide objective and focus towards ZERO.
We are committed to protecting and preserving the environment and reducing the impact of our work at every step. As part of our ongoing environmental efforts, on each project we undertake, we implement proper procedures and control measures to minimize the potential for environmental incidents, leaks, or spills.
It is our standard practice to safely collect/reuse/recycle and/or safely dispose of any waste materials generated by our work. Compliance to our customers’ environmental requirements as well as the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and Provincial Legislation is mandatory.
Our teams take great pride in reducing our environmental footprint and treating the land, wildlife and vegetation we encounter with care.
