SAFETY AT KNELSEN

Ongoing Training

Our company strives to ensure that all employees are competent and well qualified for their roles when they are hired. Each new employee goes through a complete orientation program with over 25 safety courses required to complete (position-dependent).

Individual Site Hazard Assessments & Safety Meetings

A crucial part of keeping everyone safe is to inform and be informed of potential hazards. Workplace inspections occur at every worksite at various intervals. These inspections are specific to each project and the dynamics involved at each location and are conducted alongside daily and weekly safety meetings.
