Leadership and Participation
Employees
Managerial walkarounds, good for everyone:
- Walkarounds tour the workplaces for a first-hand look at the safety measures for different activities.
- They include conversations between managers – everyone from supervisors to vice presidents – and committee members and employees, to hear proposals, field questions, and receive suggestions that can help improve the occupational health and safety management system.
- They constitute a mechanism for communication, participation and the identification of strengths and opportunities for improvement that will continue to strengthen our culture of safety.

All levels of the Drummond Ltd. organization participate in these meetings, including managers, supervisors, operators, technicians, contractors and committee members. Each meeting reinforces communication, participation, and leadership by discussing safety-related topics and promoting teamwork.

3. Engineering
Separation is created from the risk using fenders, guards, barriers, two-hand controls, safety stops, isolation of areas, etc.
