Regina-Viterra Inc. reports that it has reached two significant safety milestones in its western Canadian operations. In Viterra’s Agri-products division, employees have successfully accumulated over one million hours with no lost time incidents. This represents 190 consecutive working days from September 22, 2009, to March 31, 2010, and includes over 1,400 employees working at Viterra’s 269 agri-products sites across Western Canada. Employees at Viterra’s oat milling facility in Barrhead, Alberta, celebrated a safety accomplishment of their own, reaching 3,000 consecutive working days with no lost time incidents, which equates to eight years – or over 400,000 working hours. “These accomplishments illustrate the teamwork and dedication of our employees, keeping safety top of mind as they provide our customers with quality service and products. Viterra is committed to the highest standards of safety, and it is our employees who prove this through their daily work. It is a significant component of our reputation as a safe and reliable provider of food ingredients, and as a responsible corporate citizen,” said Mayo Schmidt, Viterra president and CEO.
