CONCRETE ACTIONS TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
Guay Inc. is a responsible company and is conscientious about the impact of its choices on the future. This is why we pay particular attention to the environment, both in our facilities and while we carry out our operations.
Inside our facilities, we aim to reduce waste by facilitating and encouraging the recycling of materials, using recycled materials and using energy wisely.
In addition to equipping all of our equipment with spill tanks to contain used oil in case of an incident, we perform regular preventative maintenance to reduce breakdowns that could have an impact on the environment.
We believe in sustainable development and we do our part by using biodegradable oils in most of our equipment, which minimizes the environmental impact in case of an accidental spill. We also have agreements with specialized companies in order to respond quickly in case of spills in order to recover the oils and liquid and to dispose of them according to applicable laws and standards.
Our technical team, representatives and operators work in collaboration with our customers to determine the best methods, from the original design of the crane’s working area and until the work is done.
Guay Inc.’s expertise and our large selection of equipment and accessories enable us to undertake any project. We have implemented the tools necessary to complete them while protecting the environment.
ANCHORED IN OUR VALUES
HEALTH AND SAFETY IS A PRIORITY THAT GUIDES US
For everyone at Guay Inc., respecting our values is paramount and health and safety is our most important value. This value guides our choices and actions.
Guay is a leader in its field and has played a major role in terms of health and safety standards. We believe that the future is built on solid foundations, and we helped to launch the Crane Operators School [TB1] as well as made a financial contribution to develop an electronic safety system for cranes, created by engineers from the Rayco and now sold all over the world.
We have a Health and Safety Committee, overseen by the Executive Committee, whose mandate is to define and implement the company’s main health and safety guidelines, to share best practices with our network of locations, to identify the risks in our operations and to minimize their impacts, to analyze any incidents/accidents and to implement the necessary corrective measures.
It is extremely important to us that all work projects are carried out safely. In addition to benefiting from trained and experienced operators, Guay Inc. has also equipped all its equipment with range limitation systems to help avoid obstacles like power lines, as well as with devices to prevent lifting any weight greater than the equipment’s capacity.
Safety also comes from having reliable, well-maintained equipment. Our mechanical team ensures that the lifting equipment and accessories meet the highest industry standards at all times. In addition, our crane operators inspect the equipment at every use, we perform periodic maintenance on our cranes, and an engineer inspects the equipment annually in compliance with the ACNOR Z-150 standard, applicable to mobile cranes.
As the company’s motto says: “Safety, we believe in it,” every necessary effort is invested in order to achieve our objective: NO INCIDENTS.
