Every year on April 28 we pay our respects to, and remember, the thousands of workers who have been killed, injured or suffered illness as a result of work-related incidents. We also honour the many families and friends who have been deeply affected by these tragedies.
Every worker has the right to return home safe and sound at the end of each work day. By working together – with employers, workers and our health and safety partners – we can prevent worker injuries and deaths before they occur.
To celebrate Safety Appreciation Week, Ledcor Group organized the First Annual Safety Appreciation Day at the Air Canada Hangar 5 job site on September 15, 2017.
Two Safety Awards were given out – one for the SAFEST SITE SUPERVISOR and the other for the SAFEST SITE WORKER. Earth-Mars Construction Company was the recipient of both awards.
Allan Ferguson received the SAFEST SITE SUPERVISOR AWARD and Jeremie Caribou received the SAFEST SITE WORKER.
LEDCOR also recognized the tireless efforts of the on-site SSE team, given that Earth-Mars Construction Company has the greatest number of workers on-site working alongside and in close proximity to other trades. This recognition is a great morale boost for our site workers.
