Proactive measures for a much safer machining shop

For AMEC Machining, employee and visitor safety has been a top priority since day one.

Not only have we partnered with a prevention mutual but over the last few years, our company has setup and evolved a workplace health and safety committee (CSST, in French). This helps actively prevent both incidents and accidents, at work.

AMEC Machining sees to the safety of its workers, from head to toe!

In fact, the company provides all its employees permanent hearing protection gear which are much more efficient and comfortable than conventional ear muffs. AMEC Machining also participates in the purchase of many other prevention items (boots, shells and others).

The Workplace Health and Safety Committee, made up of five (5) employees, meets once a month. These meetings make it possible to properly assess the state of the art safety gear and strategies but also, it’s the time when a formal follow-up is conducted for health and security issues, in the machining shop.

For instance, the committee…

• carries out a monthly inspection of the machining shop;
• makes follow-ups, at the meetings, on various themes such as the protective gear’s proper use as well as general prevention strategies;
• does an annual check-up for all fire extinguishers and the lifting truck’s emissions;
• has developed a procedure in the case of an accident where minor or major wounds occur;
• proactively follows-up on the internal first aid classes;
• attempts to find solutions to particular situations that can occur over the course of the year.

For AMEC Machining, the ongoing efforts towards greater safety in the workplace help make the company a much safer place to be for all employees and visitors. Our proactive approach makes a world of a difference.
