Safety is an integral part of our company’s operations, intended to protect our employees, clients, property, the environment and the public
There are many costs to accidents and unsafe work practices. The greatest costs are human costs. By protecting our employees, we are also protecting their friends, families, fellow workers, management, the public and the environment from far-reaching effects of serious accidents. We are also protecting the future of our company and our ability to continue business and employing people.
In addition to protecting lives, our safety program contributes to employee morale and pride because our employees participate in identifying needs and developing safe work procedures.
Employees, contractors and subcontractors who knowingly violate safety rules may face disciplinary actions, dismissal or legal action. Visitors may also face legal action if they knowingly disobey safety rules. In addition, the company may face legal action and fines for violations of regulatory requirements. Those individuals who do not fulfill their safety responsibilities will become accountable for any problems their negligence creates and may be liable under the law.
The Command Group is committed to ensuring that all applicable legislation is incorporated into the safety program and to the consistent compliance with that legislation. Everyone employed by this company is responsible for maintaining the safety program. Managers and supervisors are responsible for identifying safety needs, providing training, supplying or wearing appropriate safety and PPE, ensuring all equipment is maintained and meets legislated safety standards.

All company employees and others on company worksites are responsible for obeying all safety rules, following recommended safe work procedures, wearing and using PPE when required, participating in safety training and informing supervisors of any unsafe work conditions. Everyone has the right and responsibility to refuse unsafe work.
By fulfilling our safety responsibilities, everyone who works for the Command Group will share in the benefits of a safe workplace.
