Building a Safer Future: Gateway Builders’ Commitment to Safety and Environment
In the construction industry, where the stakes are high and the risks are ever-present, Gateway Builders has set itself apart as a beacon of safety and environmental stewardship. Located in the heart of the Greater Edmonton Area, this locally owned and operated company has not only led the way in commercial concrete construction and snow removal but has also raised the industry standard for health, safety, and environmental awareness on every project undertaken since its inception in 2012.
Uncompromising Safety Standards
At the core of Gateway Builders’ operational ethos is a profound commitment to safety. Before setting foot on any site, all staff undergo an extensive training program and are provided with the highest quality personal protective equipment (PPE). This commitment is further reinforced through our active membership in the Alberta Construction Safety Association, where we engage in advanced safety training courses to stay at the forefront of safety procedures, tactics, and protective technology. This proactive approach to safety is not merely about compliance; it’s a reflection of our dedication to ensuring that job-related injuries are minimized, if not entirely eradicated.
Our commitment to safety is underpinned by a comprehensive suite of certifications held by our employees, ensuring they are prepared to handle the diverse challenges of the construction industry. All Gateway Builders employees are trained to industry standards, holding certifications such as the Construction Safety Training System (CSTS), H2S Alive, Fall Arrest, Aerial Lift, and Confined Space Entry, among others. These certifications are complemented by advanced courses in Standard First Aid, CPR, WHMIS, and the Merit Contractors Supervisor Training Program, showcasing our extensive preparation in health and safety management.
Moreover, our commitment to excellence in safety is recognized through our possession of a current COR (Certificate of Recognition) for our Health and Safety Program, diligently maintained through the standards set by the Alberta Construction Safety Association (ACSA). This certification not only showcases our dedication but also sets a benchmark for safety excellence within the industry.
Environmental Stewardship at the Forefront
Gateway Builders’ environmental ethos extends beyond mere regulatory compliance. We proactively adopt recycling practices and ensure the codified disposal of all hazardous materials, reflecting our deep-seated commitment to minimizing our ecological footprint. Our environmental safety precautions are a testament to our recognition of the construction industry’s impact on the environment and our responsibility to mitigate it.
