Recently issued
our Certificate of Recognition in June of 2004 places Venture at
the forefront of Industry Safety. As health and safety become
more of a concern at the workplace, Venture strives to lead the
way to a safe environment for their workers. Due to strict
company policies, toolbox meetings, hazard assessments, and the
site orientations which are held with each, and every employee
that enters a our work force.
What is the C.O.R. Program?
The Alberta Construction Safety
Association (ACSA) and Alberta Human Resources and Employment,
Workplace Health and Safety are committed to helping employers
and workers reduce losses caused by workplace injuries through
the “Certificate of Recognition” (COR) program for the Alberta
construction industry. The COR is also used as a
pre-qualification requirement for Contractors tendering work for
many buyers of construction.
The Certificate of Recognition
program is available to all members and associate members of the
ACSA from owner/operators to large corporations and is
administered by the Alberta Construction Safety Association.
Certification is good for
three-years from the date of the external (peer) audit.
Maintaining your certification requires internal audits
submitted annually and employment of a full-time employee who
has completed the required training.

Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System |
WHMIS, as its more
commonly known is the field of construction plays a very
important role in our industry. Almost every material that we
handle on a daily basis is hazardous. Each job site, and our
shop contains a folder with the MSDS information for every
product being used. Having these items in place ensures that in
the event of an emergency our workers will have reference to the
materials involved. WHMIS training for our employees is
implemented upon hiring. Before any of our workers hit the job
site, their WHMIS, Orientation, and Company Policies are
reviewed.

With new WH&S
Regulations come new policies for using man lifts. Currently in
the process of having our crews trained in the use of motorized
man/scissor lifts ensures that these guidelines are met. Lift
training is conducted by our main supplier of this type of
equipment, Rental Service Corporation..

First Aid Training |
First Aid training
for our employees is conducted by St John Ambulance. Once again,
the construction industry poses possible threats of accidents on
a daily basis. With heavy machinery, and other trades to be
worked with, and around, we strive to be prepared for any
situations that may occur. Along with Fire extinguishers, and
first aid kits in all job boxes on sites, the appropriate number
of First Aid ticketed employees are there to help in the event
of a workplace accident.
