HSE at SB Canada: Built on Care, Driven by Learning, Powered by Innovation
By listening to the people closest to the work and focusing on engineered controls, proactive planning, and transparent learning, we deliver projects that are safer, more resilient, and more efficient for our clients.

Safety is a core value that shapes how we work.
At Soletanche Bachy Canada, safety isn’t a box to tick, it’s a commitment to our people and the communities that we build for.
Moving from Reactive to Proactive
At SB Canada, we measure safety by the presence of capacity, not just the absence of incidents, and we believe the best results come when everyone (crew, supervisors, subcontractors, and clients) has a voice in the conversation. We focus less on what’s already happened and more on what keeps people safe, like engagement, good catches, and verified controls.
How We Manage Hazards and Risk
Safety Planning Principles
We don’t rely on “golden rules.” Instead, we follow key planning principles that guide our teams in designing work that is safe from the start. These principles help us make sense of complexity, ensure alignment, and deliver results without compromising safety.
Understanding and Controlling Energy
Risk management is not about paperwork, but about verifying that real and effective controls are in place before work begins.
We’ve built the Energy Wheel into our job planning tools to make risk more visible and practical. It also helps us better understand and learn from incidents by focusing on how energy moves and impacts people.
