SAFETY COMMITMENT

Since opening the doors in 1997, Treeline’s “Walk the Talk” attitude has set the tone for a safe and healthy work environment for all employees throughout the organization. The “buy in process” to our health and safety program has become less challenging, due to our continued reputation for quality iron, exceptional safety performance, and the on-going commitment to the health and safety of all Treeline Well Service employees.

TREELINE WELL SERVICES INC. CORPORATE HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY

Safety is an integral part of Treeline’s work. It is part of our operations and is there to protect our employees, clients, property, the environment and the public.

Treeline is committed to a strong health and safety program that will ensure a safe and healthy workplace for our employees in compliance with all applicable federal, provincial, and local legislation.

The company recognizes the importance of protecting the environment and the need to integrate environmental priorities in the planning and execution of its operations. Operations will be conducted within a safe environment and with due consideration to any environmental impacts. Employees at every level, including management, are responsible and accountable for the companies overall health and safety initiatives.

Complete and active participation by everyone, every day, in every job is necessary for the safety excellence Treeline expects. Management supports coordination of health and safety among all workers on the job site. Management supports participation in the program by all employees and provides proper equipment, training and procedures, safety meetings, working safely and, wherever possible, improving safety measures.

A healthy and safe workplace is Treeline’s goal. Through continuous safety and loss control effort, as well as review of practices regularly, it can be accomplished. The health and safety information in this policy does not take precedence over OH&S regulation. All employees should be familiar with the OH&S Act and regulations.

By fulfilling our safety responsibilities, everyone who works for Treeline will share the benefits of a safe workplace.

CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION – PARTNERSHIPS IN HEALTH & SAFETY

In 1999, Treeline Well Services achieved their first certificate of recognition just two short years after opening their doors to the oil and gas industry. We proudly display our Certificate of Recognition at all worksite locations, our Onoway shop, and, of course, our Corporate head office in Calgary Alberta.

SAFETY STAND DOWN WEEK

As part of maintaining leadership and commitment to our health and safety program, TWS’s corporate management have been proud participants in the annual Safety Stand Down Week that takes place each January. This is the opportunity for management to show appreciation to our field staff and to reflect on the importance of Health and Safety, on and off the job.
