On November 6th, 2008, Status received news that it had passed its COR External Safety Audit for BC with marks of 100% for its Return to Work program, and 96% for its Health and Safety program.  This gave a combined average of 98%.   This score is a true testament to the committment Status Electrical has made to ensure safe work sites for all employees.  The following is an excerpt from the BC auditor's report on November 6th:

"It is my professional opinion that Status Electrical Corporation has an extremely Health & Safety orientated culture throughout their organization.  I found all employees and managers to be genuine in their concern for their own health and safety as well as the health and safety of all concerned stakeholders.  Manual review, documentation, observations, and interviews have all combined to lead me to the inescapable conclusion that a tremendous level of committment, support, resource allocation and stakeholder participation has been devoted to all areas of their Occupational Health & Safety system.  I strongly recommend that Status Electrical Corporation be awarded their Certificate of Recognition as an acknowledgement of their efforts.  It was a pleasure performing this audit and Status should be recognized as a Health & Safety leader in their industry." Todd Quinlan, Nov 6th/08

On November 25th we received a combined score of 95% for our Alberta audit.  The Alberta auditor highlighted particular strengths in our program as being:  1.  The Status Investigation and Hazard Identification process, 2.  The Status Personal Protective Equipment policy, and 3.  Management of worker training and worker training records.

We are very pleased to have passed both audits, but will also continue to strive to improve our safety procedures and protocols on all of our jobsites, emphasizing our belief that safety is our first priority in everything we do.
