Embrace Safety, Shape Success
Commitment to Safety and Enduring Success
Embracing a Culture of Safety
Simply stated, “Safety is who we are”. Safety is about people, their lives and well-being, and that is our starting point. Providing a safe working environment is at the forefront of our design and manufacturing processes. Meeting or exceeding safety standards is our top priority.
How Safety Defines Our Success
Safety performance at the Parallel Lumber Group is all about ongoing commitment to building a culture of safety across the organization.
Comprehensive safety orientation training for all new employees and contractors, and on-the-job training for every employee is the foundation of our rigorous safety program.
Our program is further enhanced through process design and technology. Together, we strive to be an industry leader with a bright future. Safety defines our success.
Safety Only Takes a Few Minutes; Injuries Can Last a Lifetime
Safety Initiative
Our Canadian operations within East Fraser Fiber Co. Ltd. and Parallel Wood Products Ltd., have achieved SAFE certification through the BC Forest Safety Council. Although we celebrate our accomplishments, it is not something we rest on. We view it as having achieved a safety management system standard that shows we are trending in the right direction, but we have work to do. The audit results provide us with one more benchmark from which we improve our safety performance.
Southern Parallel and Parallel 33 strive to create a safety and health program that will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses. Our purpose is to comply with all OSHA-related laws that apply to our industry. We promote open communications to address any conditions in the work area that could potentially produce an unsafe environment. Our focus will always be to create the safest environment possible for our employees, vendors, and visitors.
At Parallel Lumber Group, we believe that investing in our employees’ growth goes hand-in-hand with upholding the highest safety standards.
