Our Commitment to Health & Safety

The Management of the Valiant Group of Companies is totally committed to and vitally interested in the health and safety of our employees, and all other personnel working in or visiting our work sites. Protection of all personnel from injury, occupational disease, fire or any other hazard is a major continuing objective of the Corporation.

Valiant will make every reasonable effort to provide a safe, healthy work environment. All managers, supervisors, job leaders, workers and sub-contract personnel must be dedicated to the continuing objective of reducing or eliminating the risk of injury in the workplace. The Company as the employer, is ultimately responsible for ensuring employee health and safety, and maintaining every reasonable precaution for the protection of all personnel.

Managers, supervisors and job leaders will be held accountable for the health and safety of employees under their supervision.

This accountability extends to a responsibility to ensure that all machinery and equipment is functioning within designed safety standards, and that all personnel work in compliance with established safe work practices and procedures.

Adequate training in specific work tasks will be provided to all employees prior to machinery or equipment operation, so as to ensure that their health and safety is protected at all times.

All employees and sub-contract personnel must protect their own health and safety by working in compliance with the law and with safe work practices and procedures established by the Company. All employees and sub-contract personnel must immediately notify their supervisor of work hazards and/or any perceived deficiency in their training, experience or knowledge in the safe operation of equipment or the safe performance of assigned work activities.

All personnel must consider health and safety in every activity and be aware that the effective implementation and maintenance of this policy rests with each employee conducting themselves in a manner which promotes safe working conditions and activities. Any activity inconsistent with this Corporate Health & Safety Policy must be immediately brought to the attention of Senior Management at the respective work site for corrective action.
