Our People

We believe safety is every employee’s responsibility and priority, and we are committed to creating and maintaining a safe work environment. It is every employee’s job to create a work environment aimed at eliminating occupational health and safety hazards to the extent possible.

We take a systematic approach to identifying and mitigating health and safety risks. Key elements include:

• Dedication to adherence to Company policy. Foundational to our safety, health, and environmental program is compliance with internal and external standards. All levels of our leadership and management hold responsibility for assigning responsibility and establishing accountability measures for safety and health performance. All safety and health policies and practices must be followed by every employee, and each employee must take individual responsibility for their own safety and that of their co-workers.
• Training and retraining programs. We have extensive and rigorous safety training programs for our employees and contractors. In addition to mandatory training programs, we have weekly operations safety meetings, monthly Companywide safety meetings and project specific training. Monthly safety meetings also cover environmental compliance topics from stormwater and air emissions to hazardous waste handling.
• Investigating, correcting, and preventing unsafe work conditions. Safe work procedures for critical tasks are provided, offering clear expectations and requirements that must be met to perform the work safely. We have established operating guidelines and procedures to identify potential safety hazards and processes to mitigate safety risks.
• Emergency management and response planning. Employees are trained to perform their responsibilities, emphasizing the hierarchy of protection of people, environment and property. We maintain spill management team, conduct annual spill drills, and emergency response training.

At Sentinel Peak, we invest in our employees through talent attraction, robust training and career development programs, and promoting diversity and inclusion across our organization. We are proud to foster a culture focused on connection and growth and one that has a positive impact on the communities where we operate. We believe one of the most valuable investments we make are in the development of our more than 200 employees.
