‘Working safely’ means everyone has a personal accountability to identify and understand safety risks and everyone takes the appropriate actions to reduce or eliminate these risks. We all have a responsibility to look out for our own safety, as well as the safety of those we work with. The ultimate goal is to make sure that every person goes home safely every single day.

This handbook has been developed to support all contractors in developing the tools and knowledge to support this objective. The expectation is that all contractors are working to the same level of safety and with a common goal.

This Handbook is not intended to replace any of your company’s policies, procedures, programs, handbooks or training. The primary purpose of the Handbook is to serve as a quick reference guide to applicable topics and outline some of the general expectations that Utilities Kingston and the City of Kingston expect all contractors to implement as part of there health and safety programs.
