About the Safety Program

Employees and subcontractors at every level, including management, are responsible and accountable for the company’s overall safety initiatives. Complete and active participation by everyone, every day, in every job is necessary for the safety excellence the company expects.

Management supports safety among all workers on the jobsite through designated Safety Officers or Coordinators. They are responsible for coordinating safety from the branch level based on corporate oversight from the Corporate Safety Officer. Safety Officers issue company-wide Safety Alerts to provide guidance to all staff on how best to avoid similar incidents from happening in the future.

Safety Award Program

Canem proudly supports a Safety Awareness Recognition Program for all jobsite personnel to recognize individual employees and their commitment to working safely.

Safety Training

Canem spends a significant amount of company time to ensure that all employees have the training required to perform their job tasks in the safest possible manner and environment. All employees and subcontractors are provided with the proper equipment and training. They are responsible for following all procedures, working safely, and improving safety measures.
Employees are also provided with opportunities to maintain their standings if they have certifications.

Back to Work Program

An injury and accident-free workplace is a primary goal of Canem’s Safety Program. In the event that there is a w ork injury, the graduated Canem Back to Work Program provides support for individuals who are unable to resume full duties due to a lost time injury, near miss or medical aid.
