Safety Culture

We believe that safety, quality and production are key foundations to overall management. This has provided Northern Mat & Bridge a unique opportunity to build not only an award-winning but also revolutionary access solution-based company. All this without compromising the health and safety of our people, and  allowing us to protect the interests of our clients, the environment and general public. Today we hold fast to those values as we develop and train our leaders within the organization and participate in industry initiatives to raise the health, safety and environment bar.

We utilize cutting-edge technology to facilitate all facets of our company from manufacturing to the completion of a project. By utilizing comprehensive hands on training programs for labourers, operators, mentoring new supervisors and driver development programs, we exceed in both quality and protection of our people.

Safety Stand Down

Employees are put through a rigorous in-house training program which utilizes classroom training, online training, and all available online client orientations. Providing our field operations with real-time ease of access to legislation, laws, company and client compliance rules and expectations is critical in achieving effective and efficient access solutions to protect our employees and the environment as outlined by our clients and our company. Annually, Northern Mat & Bridge brings together industry training facilitators from across North America to provide our employees the most updated topics and initiatives to prepare them for our work-sites. Our safety stand downs have been noted by our clients, and industry leaders as outstanding, again confirming our commitment to Health, Safety and the Environment is the best in the access solution world.

Holistic HSE Model

Our holistic HSE model encompasses a comprehensive behavioural-based approach to a risk management system. We believe that through proper analysis, research, tracking, trending and testing methods, we can eliminate incidents involving people, assets and the environment. With the reporting systems we have implemented we are able to provide clients with a dashboard look at the health, safety and environmental impacts on a monthly basis. We believe this is a valuable tool for clients to develop a proactive approach to the prevention of incidents in the future.
