At Conifex, we’re committed to eliminating all workplace injuries, illnesses and unsafe practices.

We know injuries are preventable, so our management team regularly provides training and information to equip everyone with the tools they need to practice safe behaviour and maintain safety rules and regulations. Our vision is to get to zero by 2025. By zero we mean zero fatalities, zero critical incidents, zero injuries and zero harm.

To help us achieve this safety vision, we created our Recover at Work program. In partnership with Work Safe BC, this program was developed to keep people connected to their livelihood and on a faster track to return to work, whether they are injured at home or at work. Our Conifex 5 and Critical Incident Reporting Program (CIR) have supported our efforts in raising emphasis, response and focus on high risk work activities. We have also invested in a state-of-the-art dust management system to make our sites safe and employees safer.

Our efforts are making a difference. From 2017-2019, we had 322 fewer lost days and a 30% reduction in time lost due to injuries. At the end of the day, we want to make sure that our most valued asset – our people – make it home safely to their families.
