Our Safety Achievements
TERA’s health, safety and environment performance is the prime indicator of our commitment to the health and safety of our employees, clients, subcontractors and the public. In over 29 years and 8,000 projects, TERA has had only two lost time incidents. Over the past three calendar years, in recognition of our excellent performance, TERA has received discounts from the Workers’ Compensation Boards (WCB) of Alberta and British Columbia, and the Experience Rating Discount from the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board.
Our Safety Program is applicable to all employees of TERA, professional associates and subcontractors. It provides guidance to a sustainable safe work environment that complies with relevant legislative and regulatory standards and prevailing industry and client standards. Our ability to consistently maintain the industry’s health, safety and environment program standard has earned us a Certificate of Recognition from WCB. TERA is registered with ISNetworld (ISN) and continues to receive a “green” rating through ISN’s Review and Verification System.
In response to growing concerns about our environment, TERA has bullfrogpowered its facilities.
