A word from our Corporate SAFETY officer

“I feel personally responsible for creating the environment so that MATECO staff can have what they need, both in equipment and knowledge to work safely. I will hear their words and respond to their requests.

Our culture allows our most inexperienced staff to approach our most senior staff when they are working in an unsafe manner or are at risk of being injured. As a senior safety member, I want my coworkers to watch out for me. I want to go home to my family, just like I want them to go home to theirs.

It is great to work for a company where safety culture is the top priority. Supervisors genuinely care about your safety on the job and are always available to communicate when a problem arises.”
