At Conair, we believe that safety in the workplace - whether it's in one of our maintenance hangars or in the air above a fire zone - starts at the top with our management team, and is everyone's chief responsibility. We recognize that maintaining our goal of zero accidents and incidents is the highest safety standard any aerial firefighting company can achieve. With safety as our core focus, each member of the Conair team remains committed to safely delivering aerial fire suppression and protection services to our customers.

From the ground up, our safety management program is effective because all Conair employees are actively involved in maintaining and improving our safety practices. Continually incorporating the feedback and ideas from every member of our trusted team, Conair's dedicated Safety Manager directs and refines Conair's evolving safety assurance policies. His primary responsibility is to ensure that effective risk management systems are in place throughout the company as we deliver increasing levels of service to our customers and their communities.

Our safety program's success is the result of our five key commitments:

1. We hire the right people for the job.
2. We provide an in-depth orientation program for new employees and actively promote our safety philosophy.
3. We deliver initial and recurrent safety training to each of our employees that exceeds Transport Canada's own established aviation training standards.
4. Conair's management provides the best possible operational control and support systems, resulting in a dynamic work environment for all of our employees.
5. Open two-way communication and encouragement of informal, impromptu safety discussions give our employees a feeling of ownership and pride in the program.
