At Comco Pipe & Supply Company, safety is part of how we do business. Our Health, Safety, and Environment Management System (HSEMS) is designed to protect our employees, contractors, suppliers, and visitors, with the goal that everyone returns home safely at the end of the day.
Our Commitment to Safety
Recognized Standards and Compliance
Our Alberta and Ontario branches are certified to ISO 45001:2018, the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. Our Alberta and British Columbia branches also maintain a Certificate of Recognition (COR). We are committed to complying with applicable health, safety, and environmental legislation and other requirements in the jurisdictions where we operate.
Safe Material Handling
Our operations involve receiving, storing, lifting, moving, loading/unloading pipe, fittings, flanges, valves, and other fluid handling products. We focus on identifying and controlling the hazards associated with handling heavy and awkward materials, mobile equipment, and material handling.
Leadership and Training
Our dedicated health and safety professionals work with senior management, leaders, and employees across Canada to promote safe work practices and a strong safety culture. We provide employees and leaders with the training and resources required to perform their work safely.
Employee Involvement and Site Safety
Our Joint Worksite Health, Safety, and Ergonomics Committees (JHSEC) bring employees and management together to identify concerns, recommend improvements, and promote safety awareness. Contractors, suppliers, and visitors are expected to follow applicable Comco safety requirements at our facilities. Comco employees are also expected to follow the health and safety requirements of customer and vendor sites they visit.
Hazard Prevention and Incident Learning
We actively identify hazards, assess risks, and implement controls to prevent workplace injuries, illnesses, and other incidents. We investigate all incidents, including near misses, to identify root causes, implement corrective actions, and share lessons learned to help prevent reoccurrence.
Environmental Responsibility
We work to reduce the environmental impact of our operations through spill prevention, responsible waste management, recycling, and waste reduction. We continually look for opportunities to improve our environmental practices.
Continuous Improvement
Through audits, inspections, training, employee feedback, and safety performance monitoring, we continually evaluate and improve our HSEMS and our health, safety, and environmental performance.
