We have successfully completed numerous large-scale projects, some of which have been tasked by provincial governments themselves, such as the construction of the Trans-Canada Highway in New Brunswick known as Route 2 (Trans-Canada Highway Infrastructure, 2016). This particular project not only served its purpose in facilitating transportation, but has also served as an extremely safe, secure and efficient route for economic development (Government of New Brunswick, 2007). Another major project that we have successfully completed is the Canada metro line in Vancouver, British Columbia. This major transportation line consisted of sixteen metro stations and connects to the Expo and Millennium lines as well as many bus routes (Transit 101, 2017). Other noticeable projects completed by SNC-Lavalin include the Goreway Power Station, The Ambatovy Nickel Project, the William R. Bennett Bridge and many more projects, all of which have followed our ethical values and code of ethics (Highlights of the SNC-Lavalin Ethics, 2016). In short, we are a world-renowned corporation flourishing with the resources and skills to successfully complete major projects, while heavily prioritizing safety, security and ethical principles.

doing everything to meet the health and safety standards and train others how to so
The first organization that I had interviewed was a large manufacturing company (Company 1). The company is proud of the strong commitment that they have to promoting health and safety in the workplace, and the prevention of injury and illness. In the company the Human Resources and management are responsible for establishing and maintaining health and safety programs, and supervisors are responsible for ensuring that the employees are complying with the safe work procedures that have been put in place. Multiple times a year the company revises and updates the Occupational Health and Safety program. Records are also kept on each employee when they not only receive training, but when they violate a safety procedure. In these cases the necessary disciplinary action is taken. The other large company (Company 2) that I interviewed proved to be very similar in their commitment to providing a safe and healthy workplace for their employees, even though they are in a different sector – in this case retail. Though vastly different in the types of services provided, they shared a common promise on ensuring due diligence. As it is a relatively large retail outlet, they have a Health and Safety Committee including one manager, and 5 workers. The health and safety committee take monthly walks through the store to ensure that should anything be unsafe, it can be addressed. Additionally, each morning
