SAFETY + ENVIRONMENT
COMPANY HEALTH + SAFETY POLICY
Wingenback Ltd. is committed to providing a safe workplace for our employees, contractors, customers, and the general public and will do so in an environmentally responsible manner.
All employees and contractors have been assigned safety responsibilities designed to meet both legislative and company safety standards, and will be held accountable for their individual health & safety performance.
Our goal is a healthy, productive, and injury free workplace. When all managers, supervisors, workers, and contractors work together we will achieve this goal.
Safety is our top priority. Compared with industry standards, our damage claim rate and our injury incident rate are lower than our competitors. This means that we take care of our employees and we take care of your equipment and premises. We received a Certificate of Recognition (COR) in safety in 2005 from the Government of Alberta. We are proud of our ability to maintain this standard of safety and have been recertified several times.
