Health and Safety

Safety is the highest priority of the management of AcuVac. Our employees deserve a safe working environment and the Company has developed a Health and Safety Policy and Procedures manual that provides the basis for the manner in which we provide our services.

The Company cultivates a culture of safety by:

• Providing all necessary training to all staff.
• Instilling positive health and safety behavior among employees.
• Complying with applicable health and safety regulations.
• Identifying and meeting client specific health and safety expectations.
• Making compliance with health and safety policies a condition of employment.

Our employees take an active role in safety by:

• Following safe work practices.
• Wearing fire resistant clothing (FRC) and personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Recognizing health and safety hazards and the use of appropriate safeguards.

Central to our program is the Loss Prevention System, a behavioral management safety program that is integrated into all aspects of our daily work. Every employee works in an LPS environment. We use LPS tools: among them the Job Safety Analysis and Safe-Performance Self Assessment – to ensure that our people are continuously reviewing job activities, defining the hazards associated with each step, and using a peer support system to continue working safely.

Each of our operators have certifications in the following:

• OSHA 40-Hour Hazwoper training (29 CFR 1910.120)
• OSHA 8-Hour Hazwoper Refresher training (29 CFR 1910.120 (e)(q))
• SafeLandUSA Basic safety training
• Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) annual training
• Loss Prevention System training
