Safety at Work
The goal of our safety program is to eliminate workplace incidents and to provide a safe and healthy work environment for all personnel. At Transcona Roofing Ltd., the health and well-being of our employees, customers and sub-contractors’ employees is of the utmost importance. Annually we review our work procedures and incorporate new policies that will allow us to perform our work safely and efficiently. We require all hazardous conditions to be neutralized before commencing any task and we will not sacrifice safety for the sake of expediency. Incident prevention is a shared responsibility which is to be practiced by all those involved on our projects.
For every project, large or small, we promote an attitude of non-tolerance towards incidents. We are committed to consulting and cooperating with all workplace safety representatives and workers in the further development of our safety and health program.
Transcona Roofing has been COR™ (Certificate of Recognition) certified since 2008. COR certification is the highest distinction available to Manitoba construction firms to verify their comprehensive health and safety program. COR certification is valid for 3 years and reviewed by the Construction Safety Association of Manitoba (CSAM) annually.
