Periodic safety audits will be conducted by the employees and safety coordinator reducing the risks of hazards within the work spaces.

Once the emergency situation has been mitigated, an incident investigation will be completed, and corrective measures will be implemented to prevent future recurrence of the problem.

If an injury is involved then file a first report of injury with Safety and Security.

Annual evacuation drills will also be conducted.
