Our policies for health and safety are given utmost importance throughout the lifetime of our projects. We design safety plans for each project, taking into consideration the specific nature of the project deliverables. Safety engineers are chosen very carefully for this precise task.
- Procedures and precautions
Policies and procedures are available highlighting the specific measures that should be taken to provide protection and to mitigate risks. Seeing that our projects encompass a wide variety of work scopes, different safety procedures need to be put in place depending on the nature of each specific project. - Health
The health of our employees is of utmost importance to us. First aid kits and personal protective equipment are available for staff on-site at all times. We strive to achieve distinction in health standards. - Safety
When project decisions are made, safety measures are considered first and foremost. We are firmly aware of our responsibility for the safety of not only our own staff, materials and equipment, but for the public that benefits from our work as well; we do not take this responsibility lightly.
