Among many other initiatives that deep foundations uses
to ensure the safety of their workers on the job, Sousa lists
“site inspections, new-hire orientation, extensive worker
training and education, safe work behaviour observations,
development and communication of site-specific safe work
procedures and practices, near-miss reporting system and a
mentorship program.”
Of course, the company also assigns high priority to
making sure every worker is provided with the required tools,
equipment and PPE in good working condition to perform
their work safely.
What is Sousa’s best safety advice for other contractors?
“Consult with employees on health and safety matters
that directly affect them; this includes identifying hazards
and risks, and determining risk controls, pre-job planning
and safety program review and development,” he said.
“Workplaces where employees play an active part in health
and safety lead to improved employee commitment, safety
morale, productivity, efficiency and quality. Also, employees
will be more likely to buy into a safety program they’ve contributed
to.”
The Rise condominium will play a part in transforming
a neighbourhood, bringing in new residents and helping to
change the way people feel about the area. In years to come,
few of the passers-by who pause to admire its bold façade
will also stop to think about the piling work that went into
its construction. But for those in the industry, it’s a reminder
that – with buildings and with safety programs – if you want
to aim high, you start with deep foundations.
