Improving Safety at Domtar
Our ultimate goal is to have zero injuries. Our priority is to provide a safe workplace free of recognized hazards and engage our employees in leading safety activities that help anticipate and prevent potential accidents.
To continue to reduce recordable injuries at Domtar, we remain focused on eliminating the combination of precursors that occur prior to an incident before a significant event occurs. Our Health & Safety Policy enforces our commitment to providing safe working environments, complying with all applicable occupational health and safety (OH&S) laws and regulations, and conducting business in a manner that protects the well-being of everyone at our sites.
Every employee who comes to work for us has the right to a safe working environment and to return home to their family safe and sound. We aspire to reduce employee injuries to zero by enforcing a proactive safety program and culture. This means that we must identify and control each and every risk present in our workplaces while ensuring a culture of safety is present across our organizations and endures over time. To get there:
- By 2026, we will establish annual safety targets that drive positive actions and behaviors.
- By 2030, we aim to achieve zero injuries.
Partnering for Safety
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 show what we are capable of achieving when all of our employees work together.
