The Vertechs QHSE Committee is a steadfast champion of health and safety in all aspects of our work. We embrace the belief that all accidents are preventable, and that safety is a way of life for all members of the Vertechs community. To this end, we set ambitious goals and track our progress through rigorous performance indicators. Our ultimate aim is to reach and maintain a state of zero injuries, accidents, and work-related illnesses.

In addition to prioritizing the well-being of our own team, we also strive to be good stewards of the environment and the communities in which we operate. We support initiatives that protect land, air, water, and wildlife, and where possible, we seek opportunities to enhance and improve local social environments and raise the standard of living for all. Together, we are committed to building a brighter, safer future for all.

Objectives

At Vertechs, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of health and safety. To this end, we have developed, implemented, and maintained a comprehensive safety management system that meets the requirements of ISO 45001 and all relevant regulations. We ensure that all of our employees are familiar with and adhere to this system, and we regularly review our processes to ensure compliance with all legal requirements.

We encourage the reporting of all incidents, hazardous occurrences, and risks, and we take swift and decisive action to address any issues that arise. We also conduct regular audits of our OH&S system and implement corrective and preventive measures as needed. Our goal is to continuously improve the effectiveness of our safety management system and strive for the highest level of safety for all of our team members.

Key Responsibilities

At Vertechs, we are committed to fostering a culture of safety and to supporting all members in building strong safety management systems. We offer our new safety guidelines as a valuable reference for those looking to establish or improve their systems. In addition, we seek endorsement from major clients to demonstrate the value and effectiveness of our guidelines.

We also place a high priority on tracking and analyzing safety statistics, encouraging maximum participation at all levels of the organization. By examining the results of our data collection efforts, we can identify common causes of accidents and incidents and develop targeted corrective plans in collaboration with the New Technologies Committee.

We also continuously review and refine the parameters for our Health and Safety Award, recognizing and rewarding those who exemplify a commitment to safety in their work. By supporting and recognizing safety excellence, we aim to promote a culture of safety throughout the Vertechs community.
