The Safety and Health Committee has been in existence since February 2009. It is committed to ensuring that there will be continued safety and health for all consumers and staff throughout all environments of Davidson Homes.
An additional responsibility of this committee is to ensure that persons served have accessibility to various environments and have the ability to overcome barriers encountered in normal life activities.
The Safety and Health Committee has established a unique system of training for possible emergencies, such as fire and disasters by using Drill Tickets. Each ticket has a different situation. Staff and consumers use these tickets to practice drills and to document the results. In 2009, there were a total of 450 drills documented with 97% of them satisfactory.
Across the variety of AFL’s, Periodic Services, Group Homes, Day Programs, and Office environments, each is subject to a number of inspections both from external authorities and each is also responsible to complete two self inspections each year. The results will be published at a later date.
