To enable HFHC to keep our quality and production of affordable housing at the highest levels, we must ensure that the safety and health of our workforce is maintained at all times.

To achieve this goal, HFHC will endeavor to offer all HFH affiliates a Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Program through the application of the HFHC SHE Management System which includes instructional video productions, a SHE Coordinator manual, SHE training tools and other valuable resources. This SHE Management System will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure the highest level of support to all HFH affiliates as they apply SHE in all activities in their service area.

HFHC will seek to ensure the safest possible work environment by requiring all HFH affiliates identify and control all workplace SHE hazards, that employees and volunteers receive ongoing training in safety and health, by maintaining communications between management and the workforce and by leading by example through action.

The responsibility to ensure a safe and healthy workplace is everyone’s responsibility, from the Chair of the Board of Directors to the newest volunteer.  Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that safe and healthy work conditions are maintained in their assigned work areas.  Workers and Volunteers are responsible to work safely, following HFHC’s Safe Work Practices & Procedures specific to provincial Occupational Health and Safety legislation.
