HS Framework

Our Framework

We aim to drive a Workplace Zero culture - eliminating Team Member injuries. Our philosophy is articulated in our Health, Safety, and Environment Manual, which provides the management framework to protect our team, partners, and the public at large. The manual describes the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OSHMS), which follows the Plan – Do – Check – Act process to ensure proper planning, identification of hazards, management of risks, review of results, and continual improvement of performance.

HS Achievement

BGIS is registered to ISO 45001 Occupational Health And Safety Management Systems. BGIS is proud to be one of the first global companies to achieve this important occupational health and safety certification for Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand in late 2018.

In 2020, BGIS achieved a global decrease in Lost Time Injury Rates and Total Recordable Injury Rates – demonstrating that our drive to achieve Workplace Zero is within reach.
