our program is most effective is to properly communicate and engage our team and clients on our shared responsibility for safety,” Pete explains. “It is a responsibility that requires a continuous collaborative effort from all of us.” “Safetyriskispresentwithinallofourbusinesslines: Remediation, Emergency Response, Hazardous Materials Abatement, Waste Management and Demolition. It is present in our day-to-day life at home, office work, in our warehouses, and on our jobsites across the country. Every person working at a QM Environmental work site should be able to go home safely at the end of the day. In our complex and fast paced industry, safety becomes a shared responsibility. To remain safe each of us must understand the risks and realize the critical importance that safety plays in our daily lives.” To keep safety top-of-mind, and to ensure consistent and organized messaging about their program, QM has developed this list of eight ‘Safety Fundamentals’ accompanied by a ‘Communication, Awareness, & Engagement Plan.’ “The safety of everyone at QM Environmental depends on the adherence to these principles at all times and in all circumstances, without exception,” Pete says. Historically, the company’s strict adherence to those principles – and their driving commitment to health and safety in general – has been well recognized. In 2020, for example, QM Environmental was the Gold Winner for ‘Best Safety Industry Provider’ at Canada’s Safest Employer Awards. According to Pete, that recognition means a lot: “It is amazing for us to be recognized with this achievement amongst our peers. Everyone at QM is truly committed to safety and to our motto done safely without compromise. It is wonderful for our team to be recognized for our amazing safety culture!” SEPTEMBER 2022
