Lafarge is committed to providing a safe work environment and to conducting its various businesses in a safe manner. Health and safety are core business values that must be incorporated into all aspects of our operations.
We integrate health and safety objectives into our management systems at all levels of the Company. Achievement of these objectives is reinforced by our recognition and rewards programs.
Everyone shares responsibility for health and safety. All employees expect a safe and healthy work environment, and in turn, we expect each employee to contribute to that safe environment through responsible behavior.
When it comes to safety, the only acceptable number is zero – zero accidents, incidents or cases of ill health. Reaching this goal is critical to our overall business success.
Students preparing to enter the workforce from high school need to learn more than math, science and social studies. Personnel from the Lafarge Woodstock Cement Plant have developed a health and safety program as part of a regional School-to-Work program.
