The award recognizes the organization’s work with contractors to improve workplace safety.
Utilities Kingston has been awarded Gold in the Contractor Safety Management category by OHS Canada.
The award recognizes the organization’s work to build safety partnerships with contractors working in the community.
Utilities Kingston says its contractor safety program has evolved over more than a decade, moving from a focus on compliance and documentation to a partnership based on communication, trust and shared accountability.
The organization holds annual Contractor Safety Days, bringing contractors and staff together before construction season to discuss risks, leadership and lessons learned.
Utilities Kingston says it has gone more than 13 years without a critical injury or fatality organization-wide and more than 10 years without a high-energy, high-consequence incident.
Supervisor of health and safety Scott Robinson says contractor safety is a team effort involving contractors, supervisors, project managers, operations groups and the health and safety team.
The Gold Award adds to Utilities Kingston’s recent record of safety recognition.
