The OSCO Construction Group have well established Safety Management Systems and a strong commitment towards continuously improving our safety procedures. The Safety Policies are reviewed and reaffirmed, together with establishing safety performance targets, by senior management on an annual basis. The Safety Management Systems are supported by a Corporate Safety Department and a full time Field Safety Coordinator. From time to time, additional safety coordinators are dedicated to larger projects. Hazard Assessment is ongoing, with a well developed Critical Task Analysis and Inventory. Job Safety Analysis is conducted for high risk activities. Practices and Procedures have been developed as identified through these hazard assessments. Projects are pre-assessed for risks and process is in place to review safety performance and qualify subcontractors. Training is essential to our goals, with in house resources providing many courses including Supervisory Responsibility and Due Diligence, H&S legislation, WHMIS, Fall Protection, Manlift, Forklift, Crane Operation, Rigging, Heat Stress, Respirator Usage, Electrical Safety, and Confined Space Entry. The OSCO Construction Group was awarded the NBCSA Health and Safety Training Award for the highest number of training certificates issued during 2004 and 2006. Compliance is monitored through external and internal auditing programs and regular inspections. Qualified personnel inspect and maintain our equipment as applicable. We have maintained Certificates of Recognition through NBCSA since 2002. When incidents occur, they are analyzed for immediate and root causes to identify corrective action. The OSCO Construction Group has maintained a Recordable Incident Rate less than the industry average since 2002.
