Safety
Health and safety are a critical part of operations at the Lafarge Cement Plant.
We have a stringent safety policy for our employees and subcontractors, and participate in public health programs that benefit both our workforce and local communities. Lafarge Canada aims to be among the safest companies in the world, promoting safe behaviour not only at the workplace, but also at home.
In 2016, the Lafarge Exshaw Cement Plant team reached a remarkable milestone of one million hours worked without a Lost Time Injury (LTI). During our three-year modernization and expansion project, we maintained an impressive safety record of 2.5 million worker-hours without an LTI.
Since 2002, we have reduced the frequency and severity of work-related accidents within the Lafarge Group. This progress is thanks to our robust Health and Safety management system, which sets minimum safety standards across all our sites.
There is always more to be done.
To achieve our goal of zero fatal accidents and keep lost time injuries to a minimum, we:
Inform and train employees and subcontractors on activity-related risks.
Ensure strict adherence to safety standards.
Establish incident reporting procedures and conduct regular audits for safety improvement.
Identify and promote best practices across all worksites.
