On June 14, 2012, President and CEO, Marion MacIver, signed the Saskatchewan Health and Safety Leadership Charter at the Queensbury Convention Centre in Regina. Human Resources Benefits and Training Consultant, Therese Cook, and Human Resources Vice-President, Dean Parker, were also on-hand to participate in the event.
The charter is spearheaded by Safe Saskatchewan in support of its “Mission Zero” strategy, which strives for an injury-free workplace in Saskatchewan. The charter is intended to support continuous improvement of healthy and safe workplaces, which complements Ranch Ehrlo’s recently launched safety campaign targeting its employees. The charter is founded on the principle that the effective management of health, safety, and wellness is essential to the operation of a successful business.
Participation in this charter is a visible commitment from the Ranch Ehrlo Society to actively participate within a learning community that provides and receives best practices for the enhancement of employee physical, social, and mental well-being.
Therese Cook, human resources benefits and training consultant, explained that the Ranch Ehrlo Society, by signing the Saskatchewan Health & Safety Leadership charter, solidifies the assurance of the agency and senior manageme
nt to make certain all those who are employed at the Ranch Ehrlo Society have a safe and healthy work environment. Additionally, signing the charter shows other organizations the commitment that the agency has made regarding the importance of safety, not only at the workplace, but also within the surrounding community.
"This dedication to safety for everyone is one of the reasons why the Ranch Ehrlo Society continues to be one of the top employers in Saskatchewan,” said Cook.
