A long history of health and safety success
A lot has happened since WSPS and Gravenhurst's Budget Propane connected at a group
consulting event nearly 20 years ago. WSPS has become a trusted advisor to the Budget
team, providing ongoing coaching, training and numerous specialized consulting services.
Budget, meanwhile, has become an award-winning employer, recognized by the Canadian
Propane Association for creating a healthy and safe workplace environment and a strong
culture of employee and fleet safety.
Over the years, Budget has accessed a wide variety of services and has completed
numerous WSPS training sessions, including Workplace Violence, Accessibility for
Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), Respect in the Workplace and Joint Health
and Safety Committee (JHSC) training.
Briggs was particularly impressed with the quality of WSPS' Joint Health and Safety
Committee Certification Training. "As a result of that training, we reviewed and tightened
up our forklift and ladder safety policies, and we've created a fit for duty policy, which
was launched at our Safety Day in March."
WSPS Ergonomics Specialist Tanya Muller has worked
with Budget since the two organizations first met.
She feels much of Budget's success stems
from their familial approach to health and
safety. "They know their employees well
and are committed to taking care of them."
Briggs agrees. "Budget takes health and
safety concerns and hazards seriously.
We truly believe that it is imperative
that everyone makes it home safe at
the end of the day."
" We wanted to get health and safety 100% right in our workplace. With WSPS' assistance,
our program has become far more structured. It's advantageous knowing we can call
WSPS representatives for help when we have questions."
— Barry Briggs, Supervisor of Safety & Quality Control, Budget Propane Propane
