Our Commitment to Health & Safety
Our H&S slogan, “Safety Without Compromise”, firmly states our
commitment to safety, one of the six core values of our company:
“Health
and Safety for all employees, based on prevention and the
adoption of safety behaviour”
This
commitment is actualised at every level in the company:
-
Management:
-
Operations:
-
Development and implementation of operating procedures and
practices that provide a safe environment and that ensure that
all projects, without any exception, are implemented in an
uncompromisingly safety-conscious manner
-
Employee:
-
Training of our staff to increase their knowledge, improve
their skills and enhance their Health & Safety performance
Biogenie
practices a behaviour-based safety training philosophy. Its goal is
to build heightened safety awareness on a personal level, as
employee behaviour is perhaps more significant in determining
accident rates than any single action taken by management.
We recognize that safety is the outcome of continual, vigorous and
rigorous attention to planning, training and action at every level
and by everyone throughout the organization. Biogenie is extremely
proud of its employee’s efforts and of their overall health and
safety performance which has earned us
recognitions and awards.

Health & Safety Policy and Program
In order to ensure the safety of its employees, subcontractors,
clients, visitors and general public, Biogenie enforces a rigorous
health and safety policy. The purpose of this policy is to ensure
that no one is injured. This goal cannot be achieved without the
involvement of all staff and the complete monitoring and enforcement
of all processes. This firm commitment on the part of Biogenie
involves:
- accountability of management, project managers and all employees
to ensure the enforcement of this policy;
- compliance with legal and regulatory requirements where our
operations are conducted;
- constant awareness from all employees regarding the risks involved
in their work;
- development of specific prevention programs adapted to each
project;
- employing personnel with the necessary qualifications to
accomplish their tasks;
- pre-qualification and supervision of our subcontractors;
- integration of specific measures regarding control of alcohol and
drug use in the workplace;
- periodic controls and audits with the objective of verifying and
improving the efficiency of the processes and measures undertaken;
- management and analysis of accidents and other events having
occurred on our work sites to avoid their repetition in the future.
This policy is the cornerstone of our “General Health and Safety
Prevention Program” which truly inform and guide daily actions and
decisions concerning the safety of any individuals involved in our
operations. For example, this program establishes processes and
procedures for:
- the designation of an on-site heath and safety officer;
- the development of project-specific prevention programs ;
- the organization of daily on-site health and safety meetings;
- the control of health and safety in the workplace;
- the declaration of an accident or potential risk.
