The Management and Board of Directors of Habitat for Humanity (HFH) is vitally interested in the safety and health of all employees, volunteers and sub-contractors involved with Habitat for Humanity activities. It is HFH’s philosophy that the well being of HFH in Canada depends on the safety and health of our workforce and the protection of our environment.

To enable HFH to keep our quality and production of affordable housing at the highest levels, we must ensure that the safety and health of our workforce is maintained at all times.

To achieve this goal, HFH will develop, implement and manage the Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Program through the application of the HFHC SHE Management System at the most effective level possible. HFH will ensure the safest possible work environment by requiring that all workplace SHE hazards are identified and controlled, that employees and volunteers receive ongoing training in safety and health, by maintaining communications between management and the workforce and by leading by example through action.

The responsibility to ensure a safe and healthy workplace is everyone’s responsibility, from the Chair of the Board of Directors to the newest volunteer.

 

The assistance and support of everyone involved with HFH is needed and expected in order to protect the safety and health of our workforce, our stakeholders and our environment.
