Lafarge is committed to providing a safe work environment and to conducting its various businesses in a safe manner. Health and safety are core business values that must be incorporated into all aspects of our operations.
We integrate health and safety objectives into our management systems at all levels of the Company. Achievement of these objectives is reinforced by our recognition and rewards programs.
Everyone shares responsibility for health and safety. All employees expect a safe and healthy work environment, and in turn, we expect each employee to contribute to that safe environment through responsible behavior.
When it comes to safety, the only acceptable number is zero – zero accidents, incidents or cases of ill health. Reaching this goal is critical to our overall business success.
At Lafarge facilities in the towns of Coquitlam and Abbotsford in British Columbia, we were faced with making a decision about what to do with two former gravel pits. The challenge of restoring the land to a viable habitat yielded results that were not only beneficial to the local ecology, but also to area residents.
