Safety Always

The safety of our people, projects, partners, and stakeholders is our priority focus - today and always. Our proactive Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) program is based on established behavioural safety techniques. Developed in-house, the program meets OHSAS 18001 standards and complies with all jurisdictions, in many cases exceeding local requirements.

Our Guiding Safety Principles

 

  • Safety is an inherent part of our corporate culture; it's not just a program
  • Managing safety is the responsibility of everyone in the organization
  • Accidents don't just happen, they are caused
  • All injuries are preventable

Through Aecon’s Critical Risk Management (CRM) system, we’ve compiled the top eight Critical Risk activities (The Fatal 8) across our sites and focus on driving safe standards and behaviours surrounding these activities to effectively manage and minimize hazards.

Safety Week

Every year, as part of our Safety Week, we showcase and reinforce our commitment to safety and specifically focus our attention on the importance of safe work habits.
