At SAExploration, our commitment to quality is embedded in all activities. Our integrated management system (SAE-IMS) is a centralized web-based system that allows us to manage quality in operations and procedures regardless of location.
All field positions have been assessed and analyzed to ensure the tasks will be performed in the safest manner possible.
Each employee or contractor working on SAE projects begins training at the time of hire. Training is designed to orient employees to company policies, government legislation and industry requirements for geophysical work.
The company’s goal is to be lower than industry standard LTI and TRCF standards. All crews participate in daily safety meetings. In the event of an injury, all employees are trained with proper procedures for the extraction of injured individuals from the worksite. More than half of our employees are trained in standard First Aid and CPR procedures.
SAE has implemented travel procedures to ensure that employees arrive safely to their destinations whether they are travelling to another office or a field location.
Monitoring the safe transport of people and equipment is paramount. All vehicles, ATVs and watercraft are equipped with a Real Time Vehicle Tracking System allowing us to monitor fleet location as well as driver behaviour.
Scheduled and unscheduled audits are carried out periodically in order to evaluate compliance with company and industry HSE&Q standards at each work site.
