Aecon's most important core value is "Safety First" - for our employees, our subcontractors and the public. Simply stated, no project is undertaken unless it can be completed safely.

In accordance with our ultimate goal - an injury and accident-free workplace - Aecon takes every possible precaution to protect people, property and the environment from health or safety risks during the execution of our business activities.

It is our firm belief that accident prevention is a prerequisite for optimal production, with positive results achieved through safe, healthy working conditions and well-maintained equipment.

Aecon's leadership position on workplace safety is maintained through the effort and participation of employees, subcontractors and suppliers at every level. Across every Aecon workplace, our team is tasked with the highest standards of personal and environmental safety, in accordance with all legislative requirements and Aecon's proven safety practices and procedures.

Aecon's fabrication shop in Cambridge has not had a lost time injury for more than 13 years.

"The Pickering VBO was one of the biggest outage projects in North America during the year. As a result of Aecon's positive contribution, we were able to complete the outage two days ahead of schedule, while meeting our safety and budget targets."
