Safety First

If you have visited our plant in the last couple of months, you may recall being asked to sign in a visitor's log book, and sport a pair of safety glasses and wear funny yellow toe covers over your footwear before entering plants.

Yes. Supreme Windows is a member of the Alberta Construction Safety Association (ACSA), which assists the company in safety-related matters. We are also in the process of attaining a "Certificate of Recognition" (COR), which is a health & safety partnership with Alberta Human Resources and Employment and industry.

Quality Health and safety programs are based on legislation requirements and industry best practices. There are federal, provincial, and municipal statutes regarding safety. These statutes often differ from one jurisdiction to another; however, they are based on the common belief that the worker's health and safety must be protected.

  • Alberta Occupational Health & Safety Act, Regulation and Code
  • WCB Act
  • Employment Standards
  • Safety Codes for building standards, fire and electrical protection
  • Traffic Safety Act and Regulations
