Safety first – for our employees and the environment. Our clients expect it, we demand it and our employees live it. CDM Smith's health and safety (H&S) programme is based on the principles that people are our greatest asset and the environmental means of livelihood are irreplaceable. Accidents and injuries are preventable, safety can be prearranged. As passionate engineers and environmental consultants we are convinced that everyone is responsible for safety and an environment.
Elements of our successful and certified H&S and environmental management programmes include:
- Leadership of the Corporate H&S Officer, unit presidents and network of H&S/E managers in every business unit
- Comprehensive H&S training
- Accurate reporting, analysis, and investigations
- Medical surveillance programme overseen by a board-certified occupational physician
Project risk assessments and consideration of environmental impact, project-related health and safety plans
Thanks to its consistent application and ongoing corrective and improvement measures, our health and safety programme is very successful. The accident rate at CDM Smith is well below the industry average.
Due to our certified commitment to environmental responsibility we are aware of our ecological impact and eager to reduce it every day. Our safety and environmental management systems were certified in November 2018. We are proud of our fully certified integrated management system.
