Carlson and Safety—Going Beyond Compliance

Carlson Construction takes safety seriously. Alberta’s safety standards are high, yet Carlson consistently seeks to meet and exceed compliance. We’re proud to say that we have surpassed the requirements of the Alberta Construction Safety Association’s (ACSA) Certificate of Recognition, and we consistently achieve high marks in our external audits. In fact, in 2016, we achieved the remarkably rare score of 100%. In addition, we choose to surpass compliance requirements by applying Industrial Safety Standards—the highest safety standards possible in construction—on ALL our sites. Carlson’s goal is to return each of our workers and visitors safely to their families and friends, without exception, every day. Our reputation depends on it, but, most importantly, the well-being of our people, and yours, is our foremost concern.

Our team members act upon the understanding that we all share responsibility for our shared environment, and we work as a team to reduce and eliminate waste as much as possible. The buildings we deliver satisfy a wide range of environmentally sustainable initiatives, and we seek to continuously improve our activities and practices as it impacts our shared environment. At Carlson Construction, we lead by example, because it’s good for all of us.
