DEASE LAKE, B.C. – British Columbia safety regulator WorkSafeBC has awarded a Certificate of Recognition (COR) to Tahltan Nation Development Corporation (TNDC) in the province’s northern interior.
TNDC has been aligning its health and safety practices, processes and procedures over the past 18 months with the 14 Elements of COR, as outlined by the BC Construction Safety Alliance, a TNDC release said.
“The health and safety of our employees and those we work with is TNDC’s top priority. Becoming COR certified is an important strategy to support our goal that everyone goes home safe, while driving TNDC’s strategic growth,” said TNDC president of construction and interim CEO Bruce Gordichuk in a statement.
“Successfully achieving COR – under the leadership of Nick Naugle, TNDC’s director of health, safety and environment – is a major milestone that will bring significant benefits to our business and reputation, including enhancing TNDC’s competitiveness as a socially responsible Tier 1 mining services provider and employer of choice.”
Certification is conducted by an independent external auditor using three verification techniques: documentation, observations and interviews. TNDC’s COR health and safety audit was held in October 2023.
TNDC is the business arm of the Tahtlan Nation and is owned by its shareholders, the Iskut Band, Tahltan Band and Tahltan Central Government.
It was founded in 1985 for members to benefit from economic development and activity within Tahtlan territory and to provide employment, training, and contracting opportunities to Tahltan members. TNDC began in residential construction and has since expanded to heavy construction, earthworks, camp services, air support, aviation, forestry, transportation and fibre-optic communications services.
