Recognized Two Years in a Row
CHEP, a global leader in supply chain management solutions, has
been named by Canadian Occupational Safety Magazine (COSM) as one
of Canada’s safest employers. CHEP received the Gold Award in the
retail and service sector at a gala event in Toronto on October 24,
2016. In 2015, CHEP received a Silver Award from the
publication.
The COSM awards recognize companies from across Canada that
promote the health and safety of their workers. This award is given
in ten industry sector categories, ranging from hospitality to
mining and natural resources. Companies are judged on several key
performance indicators, including training, Occupational Health and
Safety (OHS) management systems, incident investigation, emergency
preparedness and innovation.
“This award symbolizes our strong commitment to the health and
safety of our employees,” said Paola Floris, the new Vice President
and General Manager of CHEP Canada. “Our commitment to a culture of
continuous improvement is the foundation of our occupational safety
success, and we are honored to be recognized by Canadian
Occupational Safety Magazine for the second year in a row.”
CHEP is committed to providing and maintaining a safe and
healthy work environment and to preventing injuries or illness to
its employees, customers, suppliers, contractors and the
community.
Brambles, CHEP’s parent company, has long been committed to
operating safe and efficient facilities. The company implemented
the Zero Harm program across its business units as a way to apply
best occupational health, safety and environment practices for
employees, contractors, customers and local communities. The Zero
Harm program measures safety performance through metrics like work
related injuries and modified duties to ensure that each unit
understands the impact these incidents have on our people and our
operations.
