5-Years Accident Free
Comtek celebrates 5 years without a lost time incident.
As of July 25, 2024, Comtek Advanced Structures Ltd. has reached an important safety milestone by completing 5 years with no lost time incidents. This represents a huge achievement and reflects the commitment of our employees to keeping everyone safe. For all the hard work and dedication required to ensure a lot happens in terms of productivity, an equal amount of commitment is needed to ensure nothing happens in terms of safety accidents. We proudly acknowledge this commitment as we celebrate this important 5-year milestone.
What is lost time? Lost time occurs when an employee is injured while carrying out work-related activities for their employer and is unable to return to work due to the injury.
How we have reached this milestone:
- Developing safe work practices and procedures
- Documenting near misses
- Promoting safety as being everyone’s responsibility
- Conducting Safety Management Visits at a rate of at least 2 per employee per year
- Completing Safety Talks across all levels of the organization
- Dedication of our Safety Committee
Our Safety Management Visit Program functions to collaboratively identify and remediate risks in behaviour and workplace conditions. They are carried out by two managers that visit one employee who may perform ‘at risk’ activities and/or work in ‘at risk’ environments such as areas in production, maintenance, or shipping. These SMVs provide the mechanism for management and employees to discuss safety practices, procedures and any safety concerns together as a team. The managers provide a fresh set of eyes that may help identify unseen hazards on the job or pick up a good practice that we can implement in another area to improve safety. It also provides a chance for management to celebrate good practices exhibited by employees.
Safety Management Visit 2024 - Employee behaviour and work conditions are evaluated in a collaborative manner to help identify and mitigate risk.
Reaching the five-year mark without a lost time incident is a testament to the ‘safety first’ culture of our employees and our safety-oriented processes. We take great pride in our current standing yet refuse to become complacent. We will remain diligent in our safety practices to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees.
Thank you to all Comtek employees for doing your part to ensure a safe workplace for us all.
Safety is everyone’s responsibility!
