Safety
An unrelenting focus on the health and safety of our employees and the public is the highest-priority in every aspect of LH North’s operation. Equally important is our commitment to the preservation of the natural environment throughout our work activities, with the goal of leaving job sites in as good or better a natural state than they were initially found. To achieve these goals, we have developed a leading-edge culture of prevention, review, and continuous improvement that empowers our entire workforce with a voice and the ability to influence a safer and healthier work environment.
Our Industry-Leading Approach
The establishment of a world-class construction health and safety system at LH North has been no accident. Rather, it’s the product of a dedicated team of safety professionals with an uncompromising drive to eliminate risk in every task we undertake.
Our comprehensive health and safety system goes above and beyond industry minimums and is based in strategic core-elements that are continuously audited and improved, including:
NCSO-Certified Full-Time Health and Safety Staffing
We maintain a department of trained and certified health and safety professionals whose sole mandate is to exceed compliance standards, mitigate risk, and continuously reflect and improve established systems for future benefit.
Real World Incident and Response Simulation
Workers and staff routinely engage in drills relevant to the potential hazards found in our day-to-day work.
Extensive Personnel Training
Staff are upgraded annually with both established certifications, and leading-edge approaches to prevention and response.
Auditable Digital Record Keeping
From daily hazard assessments, to safe work practices and employee training records, our tablet-based cloud platforms collect and store audit-ready records and KPI’s for a single source of truth.
Community Engagement and Knowledge Sharing
Approaches to safe-work shouldn’t be proprietary; we strive to share information and effective strategies with our industry peers in efforts to improve outcomes industry-wide.
COR Accreditation
LH North is proud to be CORⓇ (Certificate of Recognition) certified, by the IHSA and the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations.
This certification demonstrates our dedication to protecting the health and safety of all workers, and our commitment to maintaining the highest standard of safety management throughout every level of the organization. We also maintain membership in good-standing with a number of third party compliance organizations which permit our clients to efficiently validate our health and safety systems as being compliant with their site needs.
