Safety Statement

Blackton is committed to a health and safety management system that protects our staff, our subcontractors, and the public from hazards on our property and on the
job site. Blackton will provide direction and motivation by:

• Appointing a safety coordinator
  
  
• Establishing company safety goals and objectives
  
  
• Having a written safety program and committing to it
  
  
• Taking part in employee's safety training
  
  
• Establishing and enforcing disciplinary action for employees for noncompliance
  
  
• Providing support for the safety program with people, authority, and training
  
  
• Establishing accountability and responsibilities for management and employees to follow

All employees are responsible and accountable for working safely, always remaining aware of hazards in their jobs, and for following the company's health and safety practices. At Blackton we believe active participation by everyone, every day, in every job is necessary for a successful safety program and to achieve the safety excellence these companies expect. Management will set an example, provide work procedures, and provide proper equipment and training. Employees are responsible for following all safety procedures, working safely, and wherever possible, improving safety measures. Employees at every level should be familiar with the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety legislation as it relates to their work processes. Our goal is a healthy, injury free workplace for all employees. By working together in all parts of this program, we can achieve this goal.
