Our teams perform daily job hazard analyses (JHAs) and field level hazard assessments (FLHAs) to help us maintain established safety routines and draw attention to additional safety risks that could occur as work conditions change. Also, we require daily truck inspections, and we hold daily and monthly safety meetings to review safety hazards and evaluate safety compliance. Plus, we support our safety processes by maintaining detailed compliance records.

To comply with safety regulations, Big Country maintains a close working relationship with several safety organizations and regulators:
The Canada Safety Council provides online educational resources for all aspects of employee and workplace safety. We are compliant with their requirements.
WorkSafe BC (The Workers’ Compensation Board of British Columbia) works with partners and employers to promote safe and healthy workplaces and to provide compassionate, responsive service when workers are injured at the workplace.
The core mandate of the Yukon Workers’ Safety and Compensation Board and the Workers’ Safety & Compensation Commission (Northwest Territories and Nunavut) is to promote safety and prevent disability.
