Newfoundland companies were invited to sign up for the Safety Stand-down, and the Association offered to send an employee to take part in the meeting. It was hosted by Mario and the joint health and safety committee, whose members are Natasha Pendergast, Gary Fitzgerald, Carolyn Strugnell and Matthew Cahill.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, the members explained their committee&rsquo;s role and its health and safety actions. They also discussed the importance of implementing control mechanisms to make work activities safer, including personal protection equipment and reporting of hazardous conditions or actions.<\/p>\n<p>In recognition of their remarkable participation, the employees received a certificate signed by the NLCSA&rsquo;s CEO. The Association also offered free online health and safety training to all the employees who took part.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of many health and safety initiatives, which include a morning safety moment every day, in addition to the joint committee&rsquo;s actions. As well, at their request, I am holding a safety moment during the meeting with our customer for the West White Rose site. This heightened awareness has had a positive effect on the organization and influences good health and safety performance. Indeed, the Newfoundland team has not had a single lost-time accident in one year of operation.<\/p>\n<p>Please join me in congratulating the team, the joint committee and the employees for this initiative and for their teamwork in promoting health and safety.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/safetysd19_1-4.jpg\" style=\"height:300px; width:439px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/safetysd19_2-4.jpg\" style=\"height:300px; width:486px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/safetysd19_3-4.jpg\" style=\"height:300px; width:478px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/safetysd19_4-4.jpg\" style=\"height:300px; width:408px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ligne_bleue_separation_version_e-2222.jpg\" style=\"height:67px; width:400px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2>Sensibilizaci&oacute;n de seguridad<\/h2>\n<p>El pasado 5 de julio, Mario Spadafora y su equipo participaron en una reuni&oacute;n de salud y seguridad en el marco de una iniciativa provincial con la Asociaci&oacute;n de Seguridad en la Construcci&oacute;n de Terranova y Labrador (NLCSA, por sus siglas en ingl&eacute;s). En efecto, las empresas de Terranova y Labrador fueron invitadas a participar en el evento de sensibilizaci&oacute;n de seguridad &ldquo;Safety Stand-down&rdquo; y la Asociaci&oacute;n ofreci&oacute; enviar a un empleado para participar en la reuni&oacute;n, la cual fue dirigida en conjunto con Mario Spadafora y el comit&eacute; mixto de salud y seguridad compuesto por Natasha Pendergast, Gary Fitzgerald, Carolyn Strugnell y Matthew Cahill.<\/p>\n<p>Durante la reuni&oacute;n, los miembros del comit&eacute; mixto explicaron la funci&oacute;n del comit&eacute; y sus acciones de salud y seguridad y discutieron la importancia de implementar mecanismos de control para hacer que las actividades profesionales sean m&aacute;s seguras, entre ellas el equipo de protecci&oacute;n individual y la se&ntilde;alizaci&oacute;n de condiciones o actos peligrosos.<\/p>\n<p>La directora general de la Asociaci&oacute;n de Seguridad en la Construcci&oacute;n les entreg&oacute; a los empleados un certificado de reconocimiento por su extraordinaria participaci&oacute;n, firmado por ella. Asimismo, la Asociaci&oacute;n ofreci&oacute; una formaci&oacute;n en l&iacute;nea gratuita sobre la salud y seguridad a todos los empleados que participaron.<\/p>\n<p>Este gesto se a&ntilde;ade a varias iniciativas de salud y seguridad, entre ellos un momento de seguridad que se hace todas las ma&ntilde;anas, adem&aacute;s de las actividades del comit&eacute; mixto. Asimismo, a solicitud de nuestro cliente de la obra West White Rose, me encargo de realizar un momento de seguridad durante nuestra reuni&oacute;n. Esta sensibilizaci&oacute;n produce un efecto positivo en la organizaci&oacute;n y tiene una influencia en el buen desempe&ntilde;o de salud y seguridad. Por cierto, el equipo de Terranova y Labrador no ha tenido un accidente con p&eacute;rdida de tiempo en un a&ntilde;o de operaciones.<\/p>\n<p>Felicitemos al equipo, al comit&eacute; mixto y a los empleados por la iniciativa y el trabajo de equipo en salud y seguridad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On July 5, Mario Spadafora and his team attended a health and safety meeting as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":46097,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[219],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-and-safety"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46110"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46110\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58330,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46110\/revisions\/58330"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
