Partnering for Safety
Employee engagement is crucial to promoting safe behavior. Domtar’s Right and Responsibility to Act policy allows and expects our employees to step in and intervene if they judge work to be unsafe. Empowering our employees to work safely isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s the smart thing to do.
At Domtar, we can only drive our safety culture forward if each employee is committed to active involvement in every aspect of employee safety. Our philosophy in this area is rooted in the teachings of the Human Performance Improvement methodology, which considers the entire organization after an injury – not just a single individual – in attempting to understand the context surrounding an event.
We have the right people with the right behaviors and the right processes in place, and our results are show what we are capable of achieving when all of our employees work together.
Right and Responsibility to Act Policy
All employees have the right not to perform any task that is sincerely believed to be unsafe and to intervene so as to prevent others from performing any task that might jeopardize their safety or the safety of others.
