At times, existing employees may assume new responsibilities or necessitate cross-training on novel equipment or machinery. In such instances, supplementary education may be essential, potentially entailing on-site or off-site instruction at specialized training facilities.
As part of our commitment to keeping our employees safe, we regularly check in with new hires to make sure they understand their roles and to address any health and safety concerns at their workplace. Our primary objective is to proactively prevent accidents within our workplace. However, should an incident occur, our commitment remains unwavering. We swiftly provide our employees with immediate assistance and meticulously follow accident investigation procedures to pinpoint and mitigate workplace hazards.
Furthermore, we extend our full support to employees during their recovery process and strive to accommodate their safe return to work whenever feasible.
In exceptional circumstances, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, it may be necessary to augment existing health and safety protocols. As a proactive measure, we have introduced supplementary controls, including:
– Conducting regular check-ins with all employees to update and reinforce our policies
– Implementing symptom checks for employees
– Enforcing social distancing measures within the workplace
– Enhancing cleaning and disinfection protocols to minimize risk
– Installing physical or protective barriers, where feasible
