Health Safety & Environment

At Tom Jones Corporation, we recognize the importance of workplace Health & Safety and have developed a leading-edge, best practice-based Health & Safety Program to keep our work sites safe. Our goal is to lead by example in an inherently hazardous and risk filled industry.

Every member of the Tom Jones Corporation workforce knows our Health & Safety policies and procedures. Health & Safety programs are built with a pragmatic, people-focused approach and are about keeping employees, subcontractors and site visitors safe. Our people understand that safety is their primary responsibility and are required to report any concerns immediately

• Ensuring Tom Jones Corporation people are informed, accountable and committed to Health & Safety;
• Encouraging quick reporting and prompt action when Health & Safety concerns arise;
• Actively participating in safe work practices training;

Safety Recognition

Tom Jones Corporation achieves COR™ Certification.

In 2018, Tom Jones Corporation achieved COR™ Certification in the province of Ontario. The company was recognized by the Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (IHSA) in Toronto for being one of relatively few contractors in the province to have successfully achieved the highest provincial standards of health & safety.

COR™ is a national occupational health & safety program that is fast becoming a pre-qualification requirement for many contractors working in and out of the province and on public and private sector projects. Achieving the COR™ Certification is proven nationally to bring added-value to clients and construction projects without additional costs.

Studies have shown that COR™ certified companies have statistically fewer workplace injuries (up to 20%) at a lesser severity. The reduction in workplace injuries translates to lower project delivery costs, which ultimately results in savings to clients. Tom Jones Corporation was audited by the IHSA and achieved the required national standard score of 80% to achieve accreditation.
