Black & McDonald Safety Week Initiatives

Supported Steps for Life through Threads of Life: The B&M PGR team, along with other employees, family members and friends, kicked off Safety and Health Week on Sunday, May 5, 2019 with a 5km walk to raise awareness and funds to assist those impacted by work-related injuries, illnesses and fatalities. B&M raised a total of $6,520!

Daily HSE Bulletins: Each morning during the week of May 6-10, the HSE team sent out HSE Bulletins on various topics that were shared with their teams through toolbox talks, safety meetings and posted on HSE Communication Bulletin boards.


Safety and Health Week Poster: Promoted the Safety and Health Week Poster.

The Good Catch Challenge: Introduced in January 2019, the Good Catch Program is aimed at recognizing the efforts of the staff who go above and beyond in ensuring that safe work practices are implemented to protect the safety and health of workers, the protection of environment and/or the protection of equipment. They challenged the Regions to bring forward their best ‘Good Catches’ during Safety and Health Week through their supervisors / managers / safety personnel for a chance to be selected as the one having the greatest impact.
