Vision and Guiding Principles Vision

We are a world-class safety organization, with zero injuries every day.



Guiding Principles

Every employee will:

  • take personal responsibility for his or her safety on and off the job,
  • help ensure the safety of co-workers, contractors, and the general public,
  • observe and respond to all activities and hazards to reduce incidents and injuries,
  • help create a company culture that sustains our commitment to safety and health, and that fosters continuous improvement in safety performance,
  • communicate openly about safety performance, concerns, and incidents, as the critical pathway to avoiding future incidents and injuries,
  • work together to make our workplace safer,
  • embrace compliance with safety and health rules and regulations as the minimum acceptable standard, not the target,
  • accept that safe performance on the job is a condition of employment.

In addition, management will:
  • lead and enable people to work safely,
  • support safety through our policies, resource allocation, and decision making,
  • ensure that appropriate safety training is provided to all employees.
