The Environment Is Important To Us...

NWSD always ensures that all environmental precautions are taken.

There are challenges both in the Arctic, Oil Sands, and beyond...

We value the environment and understand the fragility of the work undertaken by our company in regards to our surroundings.

Our health-safety-and-environmental program is constantly evolving. We have a qualified person to develop and implement required programs, oversee changes and to stay abreast of current legislation. As a company we have set high standards and expectations for ourselves. We are open to suggestions and welcome input, whether it be from a client, a safety auditor, or an employee with an idea for safety and improvement that makes sense and aligns with our company philosophy.

In July 2007, we received our Certificate of Recognition (COR)
