MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
AS ALBERTA'S LARGEST electricity distribution
utility, FortisAlberta delivers safe and reliable
electricity service to more than 60 per cent of the
province's total electricity distribution network.
That's electricity to more than half a million
residential, farm and business customers from
across central and southern Alberta. We operate
in 240 communities with more than 124,000
kilometres of power lines.
With 1,100 employees providing around-the-
clock service, FortisAlberta is not only among the
most reliable utilities in Canada, but also one of
the top safety performers.
FortisAlberta tracks and analyzes every
incident that happens, either internally or
externally. This allows us to examine the root of
the issue and respond by providing education or
learning from it so we can mitigate any areas in
need of improvement. Employees at every level
of the organization are trained, equipped and
committed through an internal campaign called
Mission Zero, with the goal of attaining zero
preventable injuries. This is a safety mantra you
will see and hear everywhere in the company, no
matter what job you have.
Every staff meeting opens with safety
reminders, while the push is on seasonal
issues, identifying new trends and looking
at best practices is ongoing. From daily
physical exercise micro breaks to help field
and office workers prevent bodily injury, to
injury prevention plans at each work site and
ongoing driver training, nothing is overlooked
when it comes to identifying or controlling
potential hazards.
