Health and Safety Policy

HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY


People who work at Miramar are our greatest asset and our most important resource. As such, Miramar Hope Bay is committed to the promotion of the health, safety and well-being of all of its employees and contractors, and the prevention of occupational injuries and illnesses. At Miramar, the ultimate objective is to eliminate every occupational injury and illness.

To achieve this objective, this statement of policy must guide our decisions and actions as we go about our daily activities, including the design and conduct of operations, selection of materials and resources, and the implementation of systems.

In order to meet the challenge of putting this policy into action, commitment by all employees and contractors from the top down is critical to its success.

Miramar's commitment to health and safety is based on the following principles:
  • At Miramar, safety is everyone's business. All employees, executives, managers and supervisors take responsibility and accountability for health, safety and well-being as part of Miramar's internal responsibility system.
  • We include safety and occupational health considerations as an integral part of the operations from design to closure.
  • We seek to not only meet but, where possible, to surpass standards set by legislation and in the absence of legislation, apply cost-effective best management practices.
  • We ensure that our employees receive suitable and adequate training to recognize, control and eliminate hazards or conditions that may cause or result in accidental losses.
  • We work proactively with the public, contractors and governmental agencies in fostering a cohesive working relationship.
  • We investigate the cause of all accidents, incidents and near misses and take immediate remedial and corrective action to prevent a re-occurrence.
  • We constantly monitor our performance and when required, we make adjustments and/or adopt changes to ensure that our performance meets or exceeds acceptable standards.
Miramar involves employee participation at all levels in the development of programs directed toward continuous improvement of safe operations and towards minimization of incidents and the effects of such incidents when they occur. At Miramar we are committed to performing every job in a safe and healthy manner.

This Policy shall be reviewed annually for continual improvement as the organization grows and develops in accordance with its expectations.
