Our Safety & Health Commitment

Safety is at the heart of everything we do. As one of our core values, we don’t compromise when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of our employees or our customers. Every one of us shares the responsibility of making sure we go home safely at the end of the day.

With Jennifer Williams' signature at the bottom, signed January 6, 2025 At Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro (Hydro), we take pride in our commitment to ensuring employees, contractors and visitors go home safe and healthy each and every day. We are committed to preventing workplace injury and illness through active safety leadership, open reporting, and a focus on eliminating hazards and reducing risks to safety and health. To succeed at our goal of an injury and illness-free workplace, our employees take personal responsibility to model positive safety behavior, and coach others to do the same. Leadership in safety and health is a continuous journey guided by our corporate values and safety excellence framework. It requires a supportive culture, effective procedures and equipment, as well as ongoing compliance at every level of the organization. We are committed to maintaining and continually evolving our Occupational Health and Safety Management System that: • encourages and supports the physical, psychological and social well-being; • complies with the relevant legislative requirements and accepted industry standards and practices; • documents safety and health objectives for achieving safety excellence and measures our performance against these objectives to ensure continual improvement; and • engages our employees, Occupational Health and Safety Committees, and Workplace Health and Safety Representatives through meaningful consultation and cooperation in the development, maintenance and improvement of safety and health within the company. No matter how busy we are, no matter the circumstance, no matter where we are – at Hydro, safety and health is always our first priority.
