AltaStream wants its workplace to be a healthy and safe environment. To achieve this, our firm will establish and maintain an occupational health and safety program designed to prevent injuries and disease. The employer is responsible for providing workers with adequate instruction in health and safety and for addressing unsafe situations in a timely, effective manner. All workers and service contractors are required to work safely and to know and follow our company guidelines for safe work procedures. Whether you are an employee of AltaStream or that of a subcontractor you have an important part to play. Nobody wants to see someone injured on the job. Our expectations are simple:
- If you see something is unsafe, report it immediately to have it corrected.
- If you are unsure of something, ask someone for assistance - never assume.
- If you know that you are doing something wrong, stop. Sometimes you only get one chances.
In addition, every employee and subcontractor is expected to follow the requirements under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and those of AltaStream. This is the minimum.
- As employees and subcontractors, it is your responsibility to work safely and report all unsafe or unhealthy conditions.
- As supervisors, it is your responsibility to make sure that employees and subcontractors work safely and conditions are safe and free of health hazards.
- All employees, subcontractors and supervisors will be held accountable for their health and safety performance. Remember, think first, use common sense and do not take chances.
