Safety
A commitment to excellence
At ATS, safety is paramount. We prioritize the education and training of our employees to ensure a safe and productive work environment.
A key differentiator at ATS is our dedicated Safety Council. This volunteer group actively contributes to enhancing safety protocols by developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), implementing company policies, and designing effective new hire safety programs. The council comprises representatives from all divisions within ATS Welding, ensuring diverse perspectives and employee representation.
Our commitment to safety is further emphasized by our core values, concisely captured in our logo: ALWAYS THINK SAFETY.
- The current Safety Management at ATS, when compared to the previous administration, has been actively implementing and enhancing all processes, including employee training, fostering and disseminating awareness of industrial safety, maintaining consistent monitoring and oversight of various projects to fulfill the mandated requirements, and being a part of this team and branch fills me with pride, enthusiasm, and confidence to contribute, assist, and participate in achieving our proposed objectives to transform ATS into a desirable, secure, and enviable workplace
