Done Safely, Without Compromise
At QM, health and safety are fundamental to how we plan, manage and execute every project. Through proactive leadership, careful preparation and personal accountability, we work to protect our employees, clients, partners, communities and the environment.
Safety Is Everyone’s Responsibility
Our commitment to safety begins long before work starts. QM’s Environment, Health and Safety professionals collaborate with project teams to identify hazards, establish appropriate controls and develop plans tailored to each project and work environment.
From daily field activities to complex, multidisciplinary projects, every member of our team is empowered to speak up, address concerns and help ensure work is completed safely.
Our Approach to Health & Safety
A proactive, project-specific approach that embeds health and safety into every stage of our work.
Project-Specific Planning
We develop health and safety plans that reflect each project’s scope, site conditions, regulatory requirements and potential hazards.
Training and Competency
Employees receive the training, orientation and ongoing development needed to perform their responsibilities safely and confidently.
Hazard Identification and Control
Our teams assess changing conditions, communicate potential risks and implement practical controls before work proceeds.
Continuous Improvement

Our approach includes:

A Culture of Accountability
Policies and procedures are only effective when they are supported by a strong safety culture. QM encourages open communication, active participation and shared responsibility at every level of the organization.
Employees have the authority and responsibility to stop work when conditions appear unsafe. By learning from field experience and addressing concerns proactively, we work to ensure everyone returns home safely at the end of the day.
