The National Tank Services (NTS) Sarnia, Ont., team achieved a safety milestone of 20 years of no lost-time injuries (LTI).
NTS, a division of Trimac reached 7,300 consecutive safety incident-free days, according to a news release.
“This 20-year accomplishment is a testament to the Sarnia team’s commitment to safety and our Trimac safety culture as an organization,” John Anger, NTS area manager, said in the release.
“This achievement in a shop environment where accidents can occur at any time is very impressive and worth celebrating and acknowledging.”
An LTI is a workplace injury that is deemed serious enough to prevent an employee from returning to work on their next scheduled workday. Dennis Zajac, NTS service manager for the Sarnia branch, credits the milestone to Trimac, whose safety commitments lay the foundation for this legacy of success.
“Trimac truly puts safety first,” Zajac said. “Each year Trimac and NTS keep improving in ways to keep our people safe.”
The milestone celebration coincided with the terminal’s driver and support staff appreciation month celebrations. “This is a stat to be proud of, and it’s an inspiration,” said Garry Peacock, director, NTS North. “We all need to go home the same way we came in to work every day.”
