CBE safety mission statement

We are committed to providing the education, policies, tools and training for all members of the CBE community to maintain safety for our student activities, minimize accidents and environmental incidents.

Safety culture values

Safety is the top priority in our work.

  • We value continuous learning and improvement. Reported Injuries, Near Misses and Mistakes are valued as opportunities for learning not shaming.
  • We value strong communication and teamwork.
  • We value safety in the establishment of any new activity. We do this through routine Hazard Assessments and updated Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
  • Everyone should be constantly aware of the risks inherent in the work surrounding them.
  • Everyone should feel empowered to stop, question, and speak up when things don’t seem right.
