HAS Committees

Each committee is made up of a cross section of plant employees, office staff and management. These meetings help ensure the proper implementation and ongoing enforcement of the health and safety program at Wilkinson Steel.

Modified Duties Program

Wilkinson Steel and Metals considers no phase of our operations to be more important than the well being of our most valuable asset, our employees.
When an employee suffers illness or injuries that result in absence from the workplace, not only is the employee’s personal life affected, but also the entire organization suffers as a result of the individual’s inability to contribute.

To hasten a disabled employee’s return to work, or to keep the employee on the job, Wilkinson Steel and Metals will make every attempt possible to provide
meaningful modified work duties to assist in rehabilitation and restoration to normal, healthy and productive work duties.

WHMIS

It is the policy of Wilkinson Steel and Metals that special precautions be taken when using, handling, storing and disposing of hazardous chemicals. Both general and specific training are required for those workers who work with, or in close proximity to, hazardous chemicals. Fulfilling the requirements for chemicals as defined in the WHMIS regulations will ensure that all potential hazards associated with the use, handling, storage and disposal of chemicals are identified, eliminated or minimized.
