HALIFAX,
NS, Oct. 11, 2024 /CNW/ - Jazz Aviation LP
('Jazz') is pleased to announce its inclusion among Canada's Safest Employers 2024, as an Award of
Excellence winner in the Public Transportation category.
Canada's Safest Employers awards
were announced at a gala event in Toronto last evening.
"This award reflects the outstanding dedication of our entire
team to maintaining a culture of safety and accountability," said
Randolph deGooyer, President, Jazz. "It's a proud moment for our
company to showcase the continued strength of our safety practices
and the openness of our reporting culture."
Jazz enables its strong safety culture through a safety
management system that directly engages frontline staff to actively
participate in managing safety outcomes via the Jazz safety
reporting system. This system utilizes a mobile reporting
application that actively supports non-punitive reactive reporting,
as well as proactive reporting of potential hazards by employees in
all areas of the company. Reports are classified for trend analysis
and investigated as necessary to help the organization understand
its safety risks and to support assessment and mitigation of
hazards. This reporting system augments quality assurance audits
and safety inspections to help provide a clear picture of safety
across all of Jazz's operations and workplaces.
This is Jazz's eighth consecutive year accepting awards as part
of Canada's Safest Employers. Launched in
2011, Canada's Safest Employers awards recognize
organizations with outstanding accomplishments in promoting
the health and safety of their employees. Companies are evaluated
on a wide range of occupational safety and health ('OSH') elements,
including employee training, OSH management systems, incident
investigation, emergency preparedness, and innovative health and
safety initiatives.
