Techmation’s safety philosophy begins with our employees. Our employees are our most valuable resource and Techmation’s goal is to ensure they return home safely every day. We believe that all incidents are preventable and Techmation’s TRIF target is ZERO. By empowering our personnel (from senior management to our field technicians) to actively participate in our safety program, enables Techmation to build a strong safety culture. We pride ourselves in providing a safe work environment, demonstrating safety leadership and promoting safety as our top priority.

We have obtained a COR Certification with the Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan Construction Safety Associations and we utilize their training services to augment our safety program and enhance our employee’s skills.
