Superior safety Over its 36 years in business, DMC Mining Services has established a serious reputation for safety thanks to the company’s
top leadership and its on-site supervisors. To reinforce that culture of safety, DMC’s management has set up systems of accountability and worked to facilitate communication around workplace hazards, including through daily safety meetings at job sites. Through the years, DMC has been recognized many times for its health and safety efforts. It was runner up in the Ontario government’s Workplace Safety North (WSN) workplace safety excellence
audit in 2013, and won awards for having the lowest total medical injury frequency performance in 2011, and for workplace self assessment in 2011. However, instead of focusing on awards, DMC is trying to encourage more reporting to collect leading indicators such as near misses in the workplace. Having this information will help management understand what needs to be improved so future accidents can be prevented. n
