SAFETY, the dirty 6 letter word in the Post Frame Industry.
Construction has similar time constraints that most agricultural producers experience. Starting at this time of year, everything that is done is preparing for winter, Same with Bakke Buildings, subcontractors that build our buildings and trades that are part of the build. There tends to be a lot of pressure to get the project completed and move on to the next build, and as a result, safety protocols get pushed aside.
Bakke Buildings believes that safety should be paramount in the operation and we are currently hosting Fall protection seminars in our boardroom. Currently, the second one is in progress and another slated. We are also putting together St. john's first aid training as well as Aerial platform training as well as equipment certification.
We know that there are no guarantees that safety protocols are carried out in the field, but we believe the culture to treat safety as a priority starts here.
Bakke Buildings will continue to host safety seminars to our crews and staff, and to whoever wishes to access this opportunity
As a side note, Bakke Buildings has committed to obtaining CORE certification and is working with the Saskatchewan Safety Council to have it implemented.
