Our training goes above and beyond the required worksite safety training, we train all our staff in the overall recognition of hazards, analysis and controls, giving them a leading advantage in all areas of risk mitigation. This is supported through regular inspections, hazard assessments, engineering and administrative controls, emergency planning and communication.

We have implemented the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace to ensure that we are supporting our staff to always be at their best. We also have additional programs for impairment, fatigue management, safe driving, noise mitigation, extensive maintenance and continual tracking and analysis of statistics.

HSE Performance

YEG Engineering holds a COR (Certificate of Recognition) which is a nationally standardized occupational health and safety program accreditation for industry employers aimed at reducing the human and financial costs associated with workplace accidents and injuries.

In addition to formal COR auditing, the efficacy of our Health and Safety Program is measured on an annual basis, comparing our Recordable Injury Rate (RIR) from year to year.

Through these audits and comparisons, YEG Engineering can address areas where improvement is recommended and plan for completion of corrective actions.

Incident investigation and reporting is an essential part of our Health and Safety Program. The goal of an Incident Investigation is to find the direct and indirect causes of the incident to ensure problems are corrected, and the likelihood of reoccurring incidents are reduced. YEG Engineering perceives all incidents as opportunities to teach and train our workers.
