Northland Utilities provides employees with training in the HSE management system and the Safety Standards Manual. Regularly scheduled meetings are held incorporating various topics pertaining to health and safety, such as bucket and pole top rescue training.

Incidents
Northland Utilities’ employees are trained to respond quickly in the event of an environment or health and safety incident. After the immediate risk has passed, the incident is reported to the appropriate authorities. An investigation may be conducted, depending on the nature and severity of the incident. In the case of an environmental release, the site is also cleaned up; major releases are remediated to government standards. 

Northland Utilities promotes safe work practices and ensures all employees have the training and equipment they need for safety on the job. However, even the most extensive preparation cannot predict every eventuality, and incidents do still occur. To reduce the risk of incidents, we continue to make safety a priority in all our operations.
