CEO Health & Safety Leadership Charter

Welcome

Welcome to the CEO Health and Safety Leadership Charter

This initiative was launched in April 2005 by Duncan Hawthorne, President and CEO of Bruce Power Inc. to achieve a Canada-wide breakthrough in health and safety performance. Over 250 Chief Executive Officers in 8 provinces across the country have already joined the Charter and the interest in this initiative from a broad range of sectors continues to grow. Members of this rapidly growing coalition have committed to work together to improve health and safety performance through sharing, mentoring and coaching. The coalition is expanding to include large and small organizations from all regions and sectors across Canada.

This charter is intended to support the continuous improvement of healthy and safe workplaces. It is founded on the principle that the effective management of health, safety and wellness is essential to the operation of a successful business. Participation in this charter is a visible commitment from business leaders to actively participate within a learning community that provides and receives best practices for the enhancement of employee physical, social and mental well being. The benefits will be realized as this learning is integrated and applied into organizational business strategies, systems, and processes.

By signing the Charter, CEOs commit their support to the following:

  • To subscribe to the principle that nothing is more important than the health, safety and well-being of employees, contractors, visitors and the surrounding community;
  • To integrate health and safety into business strategies, processes and performance measures, and to recognize that good health and safety performance supports good business results;
  • To effectively manage health and safety risks by eliminating, minimizing or controlling hazards;
  • To strive for continuous health and safety improvement and to provide the leadership and internal capacity to make this happen;
  • To provide an environment that enables all employees to participate and work collaboratively in developing, promoting, and improving health and safety at work;
  • To extend health and safety efforts beyond the workplace, recognizing and supporting related initiatives within the community; and
  • To participate within a CEO health and safety leadership learning community, by providing and receiving information and best practices, with the goal of continuously improving health and safety strategies, programming and performance.
