OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MANUAL BASED ON OHSAS 18001:2007 (EBCON-HSM-001)

Safety is the state of being SAFE in everywhere and every moment, so the rules of safety should be considered, and to implement carefully, the construction industry has long recognized that construction is a high-risk series of activities requiring active safety measures every day.The accident frequency and severity rates in this industry are well above the averages of all other industries.

EBCON -L.L.C believes that NO JOB OR NO TASK IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY. If a job represents a potential safety or health threat, every effort will be made to plan a safe way to do the task.

Every procedure must be a safe procedure. Shortcuts in safe procedures by either supervisor or workers will not be tolerated. If a worker observes any work activity which may pose a potential threat to their or others health or safety, he or she must inform management and management must take adequate precautions.

IF A JOB CANNOT BE DONE SAFELY, IT WILL NOT BE DONE. OUR FUTURES ARE ONLY BUILT THROUGH OUR PEOPLE; WE AIM TO PROTECT THEM.
