Yukon Energy is proud to announce that it has attained its Certificate of Recognition (COR) for workplace safety. The COR is issued to employers who develop and implement health and safety programs that meet established standards set out by the Northern Safety Network and the Yukon Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board.
A COR recognizes that Yukon Energy Corporation’s health and safety management system has been evaluated by an independent certified auditor and found to meet industry standards. The audit was carried out at Yukon Energy’s Dawson City, Mayo and Whitehorse operations.
"Because of the nature of our work, safety is a part of every decision we make and every action we take,” Yukon Energy president David Morrison said. “Becoming COR certified is the result of a lot of hard work by all of our staff to ensure we are a leader in electrical utility workplace safety.”
Yukon Energy employs 80 workers, many of whom are engaged in high risk occupations.
