Target ZERO
The purpose of the Target ZERO workshop is to elevate the level of awareness of safety by making it personal, relevant and important. Employee participation in these workshops have been proactive in impacting the choices and actions employees make regarding their safety and their coworkers.
The objectives of Target ZERO is:
- To take time out for each of us to examine, in real terms, our own relationship to safety.
- To explore the contradiction regarding our personal safety;
- To heighten the awareness of the risks we face day-to-day.
- To build permission to “take care of” each other and to speak up when necessary to support the safety of those around us.
- To leave all of us in action: focus on the one (or few) things we can do that will make a difference for the safety of: ourselves, our co-workers, our families, those we care about.

VERSA Integrity Group Management Safety Systems are designed to assist our employee’s in performing their work safely, as well as encouraging them to remain environmentally mindful. Every VERSA Integrity Group employee has the responsibility and the obligation to prevent accidents and injuries by observing established operating procedures, following the directions of supervisors, practicing the principles taught, and by providing ideas as to how our Safety efforts might be further strengthened and improved. The success of our Safety Culture is dependent upon the balanced relationship between each employee and their work environment.
In addition, employees are encouraged to ask their supervisor, should they not understand the Safety requirements for a task to which they have been assigned. Under no circumstance is an employee to perform a task without first, identifying the potential risks; secondly, having a clear understanding of the safety requirements; and thirdly, mitigate all known hazards in order to prevent incidents when performing their work.
Furthermore, employees are empowered and encouraged to exercise Stop Work Authority when any work-related activities are believed to be dangerous to personnel or the environment.
