Our top priority is keeping you safe.

Everything in the construction sector is done with safety in mind from the beginning to the end. When it comes to accident rates, severity, and downtime, the sector has improved dramatically overall. It follows that everyone put in a lot of effort to make sure they everyone got home safely at the end of the day, both the employers and employees.

 We are happy members of Worksafe BC, but as we all know, safety is a continuous learning process that requires everyone to do their bit and continuously improve programs to be the best they can be. It’s not just a certificate you hang on your wall.

Guidelines & Practices for Safe Work

The IHub Construction Safe Work Practices are general guidelines for carrying out daily duties in a safe manner. They also help in the creation of Safe Work Procedures particular to a certain location, which are detailed instructions for tasks with numerous or complicated components.

To guarantee that all aspects and dangers have been taken into account, Safe Work Procedures must be developed in collaboration with your CSO, Foreman, or another competent supervisor and must include site-specific components and hazards.

Numerous tools are accessible for your instant reference in our Safety Section. These are meant to supplement current programs and offer more assistance, rather than take the place of on-site safety sessions. For more assistance, get in touch with our safety managers at ihubconstructions@hotmail.com
