Corporate Safety and Occupational Health Policy

Safety is essential at William Day Construction Limited. Each of us has the responsibility to make sure that safety of our co-workers, our customers, the general public, and ourselves is a primary concern. This objective is fundamental to our well being, as well as to the efficient operation of our business.

The key elements of a safe and healthful working environment are management commitment, a knowledgeable supervisory staff, involved safety leadership and conscientious employees. It is critical for each employee to be dedicated to the principle that accident prevention is an integral part of the planning and efficient execution of each and every job.

Management recognizes its responsibility to provide safe and healthful working conditions, safe work procedures, rules based upon experience and safety knowledge, and competent work direction for our employees.

Every employee has the responsibility to prevent accidents and injuries by observing established working rules, following the directions of supervisors, practicing the principles taught in safety training and providing ideas so our safety and health efforts will be further strengthened. William Day Construction Limited and its employees have the responsibility to comply with all laws and regulations related to safety and health programs. An effective safety and health program extends beyond normal working hours and, accordingly, safety for employees and their families off the job activities is encourages.

At William Day Construction Limited we do not consider any phase of our operations of greater importance than the safety of our employees, our customers and the general public.
