Key Components of the CMH Underground Safety Program
- Education and mentoring of workers. All new employee orientation and hazard observation programs work to foster a safe culture and environment to work in.
- Continual monitoring of existing safe work practises while encouraging a proactive approach toward making positive, behavior-based changes to the overall safety culture of society.
- Managers, supervisors and employees use systematic methods of assessing whatever risks and hazards are associated with every component of every project. This leads to safer work and the production of a better product.
- Having procedures in place that cover ALL aspects of incident and near-miss investigations. Effective review of previous events is a valuable tool in the mitigation of future hazards, leading to increased knowledge and awareness for all.
