Civil Explosives - Health and safety - u-Safe Introduction

MAXAM´s goals have been to build upon our existing risk assessment and employee consultation processes (using the Dupont model of improving safe behaviour through involvement) to achieve greater control over occupational risk. The end result is u-Safe: MAXAM’s Safety Management System. This process reinforced that the most powerful risk management tool within our group is our employees.

• Identifying hazards.
• Assessing Risk.
• Treating the risk (or controlling the risk). 
• Documenting risk treatments in minimal acceptable standards (safe operating procedures). 
• Training staff. 
• Auditing compliance.
• Continually improving.

Good safety management practices need not be complex as the basic principles of occupational risk reduction have not changed. At MAXAM the basic principals are evident in all aspects of our safety management system, u-Safe. MAXAM’s commitment to our staff and clients is to continuously improve these services through actively seeking and nurturing initiative, with our thousand ideas foundation, in all aspects of our operations.
