SAFETY

Enviromental Health & Safety

At E.S. Fox Ltd., our employees; clients; subcontractors; and the public are the first priority of consideration before we begin any project. No project or task is performed unless we have evaluated the risk involved, and have in place the required controls to ensure that all workplace parties get home safe at the end of the day.

We strongly believe that all Workplace incidents are preventable. Focusing on safety at the planning stage helps to develop clear and concise work procedures and to provide direction to our workforce. Zero incidents on a project is believed to be achievable.

We are committed to ensuring all reasonable precautions are taken to protect employees, the public, property and the environment from any health and safety or environmental events arising from the work we are executing at any given time.

We strongly believe that our managers and supervisors must be leaders in safety on the job and lead by example. They represent our organization at the site level and are responsible to communicate our expectations to the employees and strive to continually improve our safety culture.

We are committed to providing safe and healthy working conditions and maintaining equipment in proper working order so that we eliminate the possibility of injury or incident

We encourage our employees to communicate any hazardous situations or conditions that may develop while working on our projects. This being part of maintaining a strong Internal Responsibility System.

E.S. Fox Ltd. is proud to have achieved certification in both ISO 14001 Environmental and 18001 Health and Safety. All employees, subcontractors, and suppliers in our workplaces must ensure that the health and safety of their employees and of their co-workers is protected along with the environment. This will be done by abiding by the applicable legislative requirements and with written safe work procedures and pre-start hazard analysis of each activity that is identified.

We conduct internal audits of our EH&S Management Systems and communicate the findings at management review meetings. Decisions are made to better our management systems and to address any non-conformances that require attention.

We recognize that to maintain our status as a leader in the construction industry we must continue to network with others within our industry, and with organizations who specialize in workplace safety. E.S.Fox Ltd. participates in construction labour management committees and has been a member of safety groups for several years. We are also members of the Infrastructure Health & Safety Association of Ontario, Alberta Construction Association, New Brunswick Safety Association and the Saskatchewan Construction Association.
