The intent of NOONTIDE’S Health, Safety & Environment Document for Contractors is to provide a written overview of NOONTIDE’s minimum policies and procedures with respect to Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S). This handbook does not address all EH&S issues which may arise during completion of work. Nor is this document intended to address or replace the Contractor’s duties and requirements with respect to regulatory compliance and best practices, and in conducting work in a manner that creates a safe and healthy environment for its own employees, NOONTIDE, building occupants and the public. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to operate in compliance with all applicable legislation and regulations that may pertain to its activities.
Compliance with this document does not relieve the Contractor from any liability that may result from the Contractor’s actions or from failure to act in accordance with applicable legislation.
Where applicable, NOONTIDE may provide to the Contractor additional EH&S policies and procedures, relating to specific site or job requirements, which the Contractor shall comply with. This document may be modified at any time at NOONTIDE’S discretion.
The purpose of this document is to assist contractors in understanding NOONTIDE’S minimum EH&S requirements while undertaking work at a NOONTIDE controlled space. This document is a general overview of NOONTIDE’S protocols and should be used in conjunction with the Contractor’s own environment, health and safety policies, procedures and programs. Contractors are responsible for controlling workplace activities and for maintaining and promoting a safe and healthy work environment. It is NOONTIDE’S expectation that the information in this document is communicated to all the Contractor’s employees and any of its subcontractors. As a large percentage of contract work is completed at non-NOONTIDE supervised locations, we expect Contractors to be conscientious of their EH&S practices and their reflection on NOONTIDE. In the event that the Contractor is unable to meet the requirements outlined in this document, the Contractor is to notify NOONTIDE immediately. Assistance in meeting the requirements will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
NOONTIDE is dedicated to becoming “best in class” with respect to EH&S. Our culture is one in which Environmental Health and Safety are more than words in our value statement, and they are integrated into our daily activities and are part of our culture.
Our Environmental Health and Safety Policies are located in Appendix A. These policies are reviewed annually. NOONTIDE maintains health and safety and environmental management systems.
