An effective project design needs to smoothly integrate our safety management protocols with the safety management systems of our clients and those of our service providers. So how do we do that?

• Eliminate system duplication and default to the most rigorous standard;
• Ongoing documentation, review, and reporting of work procedures and conditions;
• Hazard assessments and development of risk reduction measures;
• Frequent audits to ensure risk reduction measures are being followed;
• Employee review and training to keep everyone aware of safety requirements;
• Job Observations and Hazard Identifications as core tasks for all team members; and,
• Ongoing focus on finding ways to improve safety, through better equipment or procedures.

• Partners in Injury Reduction Program (PIR) since 2004;
• ISNetworld registered.  Approved for multiple clients with national and international development portfolios;
• Independent auditing of company safety programs as a part of diligence and continuous improvement;
• Detailed continuing education including standard resource management training competencies, safety and environment auditor experience and safety leadership training.

• Promoting safety leadership through enhanced training opportunities for our project leaders;
• Requiring that all team members under our direction take responsibility for modeling work place safety;
• Supporting Job Observations and Hazard Identification tools as indicators of worker engagement and program effectiveness;
• Encouraging reporting, investigation and shared learning from incidents before accidents occur; and
• Following through on safe work practices.
