Health & Safety in the Workplace

TeachFocus believes that maintaining a safe and healthy work environment requires a team approach in both responsibility and accountability at all levels of its operations. Shared responsibility and accountability has proved to be a very effective approach to managing health and safety on TeachFocus work sites. TeachFocus's ability to perform work safely is a direct result of the company's commitment to ensuring safe operations, providing its employees with the tools to perform their duties in a safe and healthy manner, and assigning health and safety responsibilities to its employees and operating management alike.

TeachFocus requires that all employees conduct themselves in a safe manner while at work and encourages employees to "think safety and put safety first" while away from work. Being safe not only protects the employee, but also the health and safety of co-workers, clients and their employees, the employee's family, and the public.
