Emergency stop 24/24
Year of realization: 2014 to 2017
Location: Salaberry-de-Valleyfield
Value of work: $2 million contract / $1 million annual planned shutdown

Challenges Met

Carry out the work within the agreed upon schedule and quickly react to the unexpected need for additional work (that had not been considered beforehand) without adding men for labour. The experience and resourcefulness of the employees involved led to the ultimate success of this planned shutdown. The person in charge of the CNESST held two safety meetings daily throughout the shutdown, in order to prevent work-related accidents.
