What I’m about to write isn’t directly related to the Sullivan project or regulatory process, but I’m posting it anyway because I think it’s important to our work and our stakeholders.
Our top priority is safety – for our people and those around us, and the focus on safety in our workplaces is evident in a variety of ways.
There’s taking time for a “safety moment” before meetings, wearing the proper personal protective equipment, ensuring that appropriate work procedures and emergency preparedness plans are in place (wow, that was a mouthful of “p”s), and so on.
We also make sure that staff are trained in first aid and other relevant courses.
When most people take first aid, they hope never to use it. Unfortunately, in the last couple of weeks, we’ve had employees at both ends of the province who had to put their training into action. In both instances, our staff came across non-Suncor vehicle accidents. Arriving on the scene, they obviously pitched in and did their best to help.
These employees aren’t looking for recognition or a pat on the back. They simply did what anyone would have. But their experiences are a sobering reminder to us all; the need to keep safety at the top of our personal priority lists is ever-present.
So please, remember to be safe out there. Especially in this season of questionable road quality, please drive safely.
