Health, Safety + Environment

Health and Safety Program

Health and Safety is at the core of everything we do!

Overview

At Karve Builders we believe that the highest standard of health and safety is achieved through leadership, communication, education, and continuous improvement.  This approach will foster a culture of health and safety and allow us to achieve our health and safety goals. Our commitment to creating a safe working environment goes beyond compliance; it is a fundamental aspect of our values and everyday operations.

Our Goal

Our goal is a healthy, injury-free workplace for all workers. By working together, we can achieve this goal to ensure all our workers return safely home to their families at the end of every shift.

Health and Safety Culture

Karve Builders believes that everyone on site has a role to play in achieving a safe and healthy workplace. The employer, supervisors and workers at every level are responsible and accountable for the company’s health and safety performance. Active participation by everyone, every day, in every job is necessary for the health and safety excellence that this company expects. We encourage an environment of open communication for workers to voice concerns, report hazards, and actively contribute to a continuous improvement mindset.

Supervisors are well trained, knowledgeable in occupational health and safety (OHS) practices and legislation and lead by example, demonstrating a strong commitment to health and safety. Workers and contractors are trained and competent in health and safety responsibilities and are expected to adhere to Karve’s health and safety requirements.

Our Key Principles:

• Maintaining a state-of-the-art health and safety program based on industry leading best practices and procedures.
• Meeting or exceeding all applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations.
• Providing safe and healthy working conditions for all workers and contractors on Karve Builders work sites.
• Monitoring health and safety performance to proactively mitigate risks.
• Encouraging feedback from the workforce to continuously improve the health and safety program.
• Reporting and communicating health and safety performance and alerts to all levels of the organization.
