Safety

Arcadian Projects is committed to the safety of our employees and project sites at all times.

Following our Health & Safety Management Program, it is our policy to train, certify and educate our employees in all aspects of Health & Safety and Accident Prevention for all types of projects they may work on. Our Safety Program is designed to include site specific training, such as solar project sites and lighting upgrade projects.

Recognizing the hazards on each site is crucial to the prevention of accidents and injuries. We achieve this by completing a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) for each site prior to starting the project, as well as daily safety talks with our onsite employees and regularly scheduled safety meetings.

It is the responsibility of Senior Management, Supervisors, Workers, and the Joint Health & Safety Committee to ensure that safe work conditions and practices are maintained.

Arcadian Projects works with a third party safety consultant and is a member of WSIB Safety Groups program, Grand Valley Chapter.
