Health & Safety

What we believe

The health and safety of our employees and communities is of paramount importance at TransAlta. We believe that achieving zero safety incidents is possible. Our rigorous management system, based on the OHSAS 18001 framework, guides our way. Our signature workforce safety program, Target Zero, is a way of working that is integrated into all that we do.

This belief extends to:

• A work environment where all known hazards are eliminated or safeguarded
• People who understand their jobs, are properly trained, are mentally and physically fit, and follow proper work practices so that safety is integrated into all tasks performed
• An empowered workforce where individuals take responsibility for their own safety, the safety of those they work with, and the safety of the communities surrounding our operations

What we want to achieve

• Zero workplace injuries and illnesses
• Improved occupational health and safety leadership
