Certificate of Recognition

BRT Construction has held a Certificate of Recognition (COR) since 1994, when the program was still relatively new in Alberta. Since then we have had a great deal of success with the program and have retained our certificate in good standing.

The Alberta Construction Safety Association website details very clearly what the COR program is and how a company attains the credential.

Safety Goals

BRT's overall safety goals are summed up in our corporate safety policy which states:

"This company is committed to a strong safety program that protects its staff, its property, and the public from accidents.

Employees at every level are responsible and accountable for the company's overall safety initiatives. Complete and active participation by everyone, every day, in every job is necessary for the safety excellence that the company expects.

An injury and accident free workplace is our goal. Through continuous safety and loss control efforts we can accomplish this goal"

In order to work towards the ultimate goal of an injury and accident free workplace, we do have a number of additional goals that have been developed as a result of our yearly safety audit.

• Initiate a complete review of safe work practices and procedures to ensure that they are up to date and in line with current practices
• Increase level of training for use and care of PPE
• Improve documentation of 'on the job training' being done by employees
• Increase worker involvement in routine inspections
• Develop a more comprehensive emergency response plan and initiate drills to test
• Safety and Environment Policy

BRT Construction Services Ltd. is committed to striking a balance between conserving our environment and completing work in an efficient and effective manner. We always intend on complying with all legislation and it is our goal to manage resources responsibly and reduce our influence on the environment around us. We will strive to continually improve our performance in terms of impact on our surroundings.

Environmental Responsibility

Our responsibility to the environment takes on
many forms including:

Erosion and Sediment Control

• Keeping contaminants, debris, and silt out of our waterways and sewer systems
• Preventing mud, dirt, and rocks from being taken off of jobsites and deposited onto roadways
• Minimizing dust and debris from being blown off of jobsites

Tree Protection

• Treat all trees as an asset to our environment
• Reduce the likelihood of any damage to a tree's branches, trunk, leaves, or root system

Release or Spill of Contaminants

• Take all precautions to prevent pollutants from being released into the environment
• Report any incident of a release or spill of toxic or potentially harmful materials

Please also note that Joe Mack has completed the "Introduction to Erosion and Sediment Control for Urban Construction Sites" and "Regulations and Responsibilities: Urban Erosion and Sediment Control".
