Safety

The safety and health program is an integral part of Westwood Mechanical’s operations as major mechanical contractor and is outlined and available on every project site for employees, clients and subcontractors. Our team leads understand, follow and explain guidelines and report and respond to incidents in a timely and efficient manner.

We are COR Certified with the Manitoba Building Contractors Safety Program, adhere to the requirements of TSSA Technical Standards & Safety Authority of Ontario, and have an In-house COR certified safety program.

We have a full-time inhouse Safety Coordinator who has completed all required safety courses including Leadership for Safety Excellence, Principles of Safety Management, WHMIS-Train the Trainer, and Hazard Identification and Risk Control.

This highly qualified individual is responsible for implementation and administration of the safety program and spearheads the COR Certification. A key priority is ensuring all employees are safety orientated, all safety policies are adhered to, and proper protocol and procedure is being followed for all safe job procedures (confined space, hot work, fire watch, lockout, tagout, etc.).
