At the Technical Standards & Safety Authority (TSSA), the health and safety of our employees and our workplace are a priority. As a result, we are committed to a goal of zero workplace injuries and illnesses.
In all situations, priority is given to protecting our employees, visitors and the public from the risk of injury. To help achieve this objective, we have a health and safety program in place.
Through an effective partnership between employees, supervisors, the Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee, and executive leadership, we will meet our objective of promoting and maintaining a healthy and safe work environment.
The executive leadership team will set annual objectives and targets for occupational health and safety, and routinely report on progress to the Board of Directors and to TSSA employees.
Those with supervisory authority are accountable and responsible for the safety of their employees and will lead health and safety initiatives to meet this obligation.
The executive leadership team, managers, regional supervisors and team leaders are responsible for knowing and complying with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and ensuring employee adherence to health and safety policies.
Further, TSSA will provide the tools and education needed to ensure a safe workplace.
The cooperation and participation of all employees in our health and safety program are imperative to achieving these goals. We challenge ourselves to continuously improve our systems, environment and work practices.
Everyone at TSSA is responsible for working safely, using appropriate safety equipment at all times, and reporting any workplace incident, near-miss occurrence, or possible unhealthy or unsafe condition.
