Changes to the Safety function at the TTC

We are excited to announce some initiatives to improve the delivery of safety and environment services across TTC.

Fundamentally, the changes will recentralize the safety function within the Safety and Environment Department.

We are creating two streams of safety professionals who will be fully centralized within the department:

• A new operational/field safety inspector role will support line management; and
• A new safety program specialist role will develop and implement consistent programs as part of TTC’s Safety, Health and Environment (SH&E) Management System.

These changes will allow for better collaboration between departments, while ensuring consistency and allowing for greater flexibility to focus on controlling our organization’s greatest risks.

More specific details on these changes will be communicated shortly. We are confident these changes will allow us to best support the safety needs of the organization.
