Discover the program that SYSTRA Canada has diligently developed for our employees and subcontractors involved in the Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management-Multi-user (EPCM-MU) project in Guinea.

OUR VISION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The main objective of our program is much more than just risk management. We aspire to promote a genuine HSS (Health, Safety & Security)<\/a> culture<\/strong> within every aspect of our operations. By promptly identifying and correcting<\/strong> near-misses and hazardous situations, whether related to unsafe conditions or unsafe behavior, we are committed to shaping a working environment where safety is a top priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SYSTRA’s 3S recognition program on the EPCM-MU project in Guinea has been a great success with our client Compagnie des bauxites de Guin\u00e9e (CBG), our 18 subcontractors, and our employees. SYSTRA Canada is pleased to have contributed to promoting a sustainable health and safety culture in the rail sector in Africa through this program.<\/em><\/p>\nRafik KACI, Director of Health, Safety & Security (3S) and Quality<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This proactive approach is designed to guide our site activities towards health & safety excellence<\/strong>, minimizing the risk of injury, illness, and property damage<\/strong>. For us, safety is not simply a regulatory obligation, but a fundamental commitment to the well-being of our team and the sustainability of our projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    THE STEP-BY-STEP PROGRAM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    1. RED FLAG: Immediate Action<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    When a worker observes a near-miss or hazardous situation, it is essential that they document the observation by filling in the Near-Miss\/Hazardous Situation Report<\/strong> card, and takes immediate corrective action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    2. LEADERSHIP: Strict Monitoring and Raising Awareness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The card must then be handed to the site’s Health & Safety Manager and duly completed. The Health & Safety Manager is responsible for ensuring that corrective measures are implemented<\/strong>, and for presenting them to workers at the Safety Break meeting scheduled on site the following morning. This is a crucial moment for raising team awareness of identified risks and encouraging a proactive health & safety culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    3. REWARDS: Stimulating Commitment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    All submitted cards are eligible for our recognition program<\/strong>. The purpose of this initiative is to encourage the active participation of all team members in accident prevention and the promotion of a safe and healthy working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Once a month, a meeting chaired by the health and safety manager on site is held with all the workers and a card is drawn at random. The worker whose card is drawn at random is awarded a Health & Safety Recognition Certificate<\/strong> and is nominated Worker of the Month<\/strong>. In addition, they receive a shirt and cap proudly bearing the SYSTRA Canada logo, as a token of our appreciation for their commitment to health and safety. Similarly, each quarter we reward the subcontractor<\/strong> who submits the highest number of Safety Observation Tour Reports with a Health and Safety Certificate of Recognition, honoring their essential contribution to our project’s health and safety culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    SUCCESS ON THE RIGHT TRACK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The Program was successfully implemented by all 18 SYSTRA subcontractors, demonstrating their commitment to health and safety. It’s effectiveness was highly appreciated by CBG<\/strong>, which has expressed a desire to see it deployed on its other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Thanks to the undeniable success of the project with our customer, subcontractors, and employees in Guinea, we are considering extending it to our site supervision activities in Canada<\/strong>.  This reflects our ongoing commitment to operational excellence and safety worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
