Health and safety
Our top priority is to ensure that all our employees return home from work safely every day. That’s why we promote a safety culture across all areas of our business. With our health and safety committee, we continuously work to incorporate safety into everything we do, from near miss reporting to monthly continuous improvement meetings.
Our team considers zero to be the only acceptable number for accidents at work and, as a result of our ongoing safety initiatives, we recorded zero missed-work day injuries last year.
