Health and Safety

Creating a safe working environment for all employees is our top priority. Casman mandates that each employee, subcontractor, and visitor on our work sites is entitled to a safe working environment. This culture of safety is fostered by our comprehensive Health, Safety, and Environment program, which encourages a “zero harm” attitude amongst our employees. All our companies are COR certified and undergo regular internal and external audits to ensure compliance.

It is the Casman philosophy that:

  • Workers will refuse to perform unsafe work and will report unsafe conditions
  • All incidents that cause loss to people, equipment, materials, environment or company reputation are preventable
  • Hazards will be controlled to the lowest level risk possible
  • Active participation in the safety program is a condition of employment

In order to ensure that Casman’s culture of safety is reflected on our job-sites all subcontractors must complete a Pre-Qualification prior to gaining site access. This Pre-Qualification process ensures that the subcontractor has appropriate WCB/Worksafe BC, insurance coverage, and safety policies in place.
