Health and Safety Policy Earth Boring Co. Limited

The management of Earth Boring Co. Limited would like to confirm its continuing interest in maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for its employees. I personally assure you that Earth Boring Co. Limited will make every effort reasonable in the circumstances to provide a safe and healthy work environment free from the threat of violence and harassment. In order to achieve and maintain such an environment, the supervisors and workers of Earth Boring Co. Limited must also be committed to reducing the risk of injury in the workplace.

Supervisors are required to comply with all statutory requirements concerning the health and safety of workers, as well as all safe work practices and procedures established by the Company and outlined in the Greater Toronto Sewer and Watermain Contractors Association Safety Manual, and will be held accountable when they fail to do so. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that workers work in a safe manner with protective devices as may be required; that workers use or wear equipment, protective devices or clothing as required; and that workers receive adequate training in their specific work task to protect their health and safety. Supervisors must also take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of the worker. Supervisors who do not comply with all statutory requirements concerning the health and safety of the workplace are liable to fine or imprisonment under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and would also be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge.

Workers are also required to comply with all statutory requirements concerning the health and safety of workers in the workplace, as well as all safe work practices and procedures established by the Company and outlined in the Greater Toronto Sewer and Watermain Contractors Association Safety Manual, and will be held accountable when they fail to do so. Workers are required to use or wear equipment, protective devices or clothing as required, report any defects in any equipment which renders it unsafe, and to work in a safe manner in compliance with all statutory requirements. Workers are expected to avoid behaviours that may lead the threat of violence and refrain from engaging in harassment. Workers who do not comply with all statutory requirements concerning the health and safety of the workplace are liable to fine or imprisonment under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and would also be subject to discipline up to and including discharge.

It is in the best interest of all parties to consider health and safety in every activity. Commitment to health and safety must form an integral part of this organization from the President to the workers.
