Hitech is committed to continuous improvement in the area of health and safety in all aspects of our business.
Our objective is to eliminate injuries, property loss, and environmental damage by aligning work processes, systems, and behaviors so our team members can complete every task safely, every time.
The foundation of our safety program is a hazard recognition process. This empowers employees to proactively identify hazards, assess risks, eliminate or control risks, and stop work if required to prevent injury, illness, and environmental or property damage. Projects begin with a hazard assessment that identifies potential risks associated with the project site. Additional controls, such as a job safety analysis or site-specific Health and Safety Plan may be implemented.
hitech’s safety program is communicated to team members through a comprehensive strategy that includes regular features in our company newsletter, ongoing use of our intranet, messages from senior leadership, office signage, presentations, and workshops. We are always working to measure the effectiveness of our program.
