HSE Management System

AFL Canada Construction Services works with its Subcontractors to identify potential hazards during contracted work. Additionally, AFL Canada Construction Services expects Subcontractors to protect their workers from identified hazards.

AFL Canada Construction Services mandates that Subcontractors have an effective Health and Safety Program in place to meet legislative, AFL Canada Construction Services and Client requirements.

Although AFL Canada Construction Services intervenes when there is an immediate risk of injury, disease, or environmental incident; it is not AFL Canada Construction Service’s role to direct the day-to-day activities of the Subcontractor workers.

Compliance with legislative requirements, along with general maintenance of a high quality Health and Safety Program is part of the contractual commitment for ALL AFL Canada Construction Services approved Subcontractors.

Any deficiencies noted will be brought to the attention of the Subcontractor. AFL Canada Construction Services will participate in identifying effective solutions and any failure to take appropriate corrective action will result in non-compliance and a formal review of the issue.

AFL Canada Construction Services has the obligation to stop work on the worksite if the deficiency is significant, for the period required to complete a formal review of the issues.

All Subcontractor Management processes shall be in accordance to Subcontractor Management Process.

Unless approved by AFL CS management, contractors are NOT ALLOWED to subcontract their work out to a third party. If approved, then any 2nd tier subcontractor MUST follow the Subcontractor Management Process.

HSE Management Requirements

A Safe Work Practice (SWP) shall be submitted with all applicable JHAs for the contractor’s scope of work prior to the commencement of work, and reviewed prior to the commencement of any new task.
