Beyond Best Practices
Our safety slogan 'Think Safety, Work Safely' describes not only what we do, but our values and culture. Our most important asset is our people. That’s why safety is an integral part of our job.
In Halband’s Health, Safety and Environmental Protection (HS&E) Program, every person is responsible and accountable for safety – from senior management to the individual worker. Through Halband’s Employee Commitments, each person pledges to demonstrate their belief in safety - whether at work, on the road, or at home.
Our HS&E responsibilities and expectations are embedded into management systems and processes and influence everything that we do. From our comprehensive 'Think Safety, Work Safely' awareness programs to jobsite safe work procedures, our award-winning safety programs go above and beyond regulatory standards to ensure everyone's safety at our sites.
