Taking a Look at Enbridge

There are many other jobs that need to ensure Health and Safety is important and some of these are: landlords, contractors, emergency services, trade union representatives and consultants. They have to make sure Health and Safety is an important role whilst doing their job as they don’t just have to think about themselves and the people who work for them, they also have to consider the people who are putting their trust in them to help them.

It is important to recognise the different responsibilities and approaches of a member of staff, the employer and others in the work setting. For example the employer is responsible to provide PPE and relevant health and safety training free of charge. It is then the responsibility of a staff member to use the PPE and to attend the training. So although the responsibilities are different they are also related and both need to work in order to ensure a high standard of health and safety. The employer provides as safe working environment, however if an accident or incident occurs it requires the efforts of both staff and sometimes others to report this to ensure measures are put into place to reduce any risk associated with the incident or accident. Another example of how health and safety has a linked responsibility can be shown through a member of staff ensuring they provide the relevant fire safety information/instructions to others. It is then the responsibility for others to follow these instructions.

Task 4Ensuring health and safety is an important responsibility not only for the Managers but all associated with the premises. Evaluate your organisation’s health and safety policy and procedures in line with legislative requirements and propose recommendations on how health and safety should be managed

Our employees have the benefit of a safety first oriented work environment and will not experience retaliation when bringing any safety concerns

Enbridge should face the consequences about the oil spill because many people were affected about this. They should “give back” to the community like offering jobs to those people are affected. They should also be the one who will take in charge of the expenses and who will hire experts to evaluate the plan. The stakeholders here are the managers, employees, government, and those affected people in and outside the

We have successfully completed numerous large-scale projects, some of which have been tasked by provincial governments themselves, such as the construction of the Trans-Canada Highway in New Brunswick known as Route 2 (Trans-Canada Highway Infrastructure, 2016). This particular project not only served its purpose in facilitating transportation, but has also served as an extremely safe, secure and efficient route for economic development (Government of New Brunswick, 2007). Another major project that we have successfully completed is the Canada metro line in Vancouver, British Columbia. This major transportation line consisted of sixteen metro stations and connects to the Expo and Millennium lines as well as many bus routes (Transit 101, 2017). Other noticeable projects completed by SNC-Lavalin include the Goreway Power Station, The Ambatovy Nickel Project, the William R. Bennett Bridge and many more projects, all of which have followed our ethical values and code of ethics (Highlights of the SNC-Lavalin Ethics, 2016). In short, we are a world-renowned corporation flourishing with the resources and skills to successfully complete major projects, while heavily prioritizing safety, security and ethical principles.

Both Cox and Northstar have incorporated many elements of safety management and health promotion as described in the chapter. First, both companies became committed to have a safe working environment. Second, both companied have placed an emphasis on the safety of the workplace and the employees and communicated that emphasis to the employees.

The project is high risk, high reward for all the stakeholders involved, which is why Enbridge is being held to such a high standard of safety and security, with the National Energy Board approving the project under 209 conditions. Costs of constructing the pipeline are estimated to range from $5.5 to $7.5 Billion.

Safety wise, they state that their approach will build on experience, including learning from incidents, operations audits, annual risk reviews and sharing lessons learned with industry peers ("BP Annual Report 2016", 2016). This shows their willingness to open up and collaborate with others, possibly their competition, in order to ensure that there are no workplace or environmental disasters.

Pipelines used in the transportation of crude oil should be correctly placed (Iron Mountain, 2016). This requires good planning to be done by the local authorities to ensure that the pipelines are set up well. For instance, pipelines should not be closely located to the areas where people reside or carry out their daily activities because explosions are likely to occur any time. The health of the public is the most important when it comes to safety in a company. The name of the company has to be protected by the company protecting the lives of the public.

Safety is more than only a priority, but a core value and an integral part of the culture in ExxonMobil and Shell.

The first organization that I had interviewed was a large manufacturing company (Company 1). The company is proud of the strong commitment that they have to promoting health and safety in the workplace, and the prevention of injury and illness. In the company the Human Resources and management are responsible for establishing and maintaining health and safety programs, and supervisors are responsible for ensuring that the employees are complying with the safe work procedures that have been put in place. Multiple times a year the company revises and updates the Occupational Health and Safety program. Records are also kept on each employee when they not only receive training, but when they violate a safety procedure. In these cases the necessary disciplinary action is taken. The other large company (Company 2) that I interviewed proved to be very similar in their commitment to providing a safe and healthy workplace for their employees, even though they are in a different sector – in this case retail. Though vastly different in the types of services provided, they shared a common promise on ensuring due diligence. As it is a relatively large retail outlet, they have a Health and Safety Committee including one manager, and 5 workers. The health and safety committee take monthly walks through the store to ensure that should anything be unsafe, it can be addressed. Additionally, each morning
