​Health and Safety

The personal health and safety of all workers is of primary importance to Lorac Construction Ltd.  Lorac Construction is committed to preventing occupationally induced injuries and illnesses of any nature, and protecting both people and property.

Lorac Construction is proud to maintain a formal health and safety program in accordance with best practices and industry standards, and in compliance with legislative requirements.

Our full time Health and Safety Coordinator oversees all aspects of our comprehensive program, and we consistently measure and improve our safety performance, striving to meet our goal of zero incidents and accidents.
