Get a Grip on Safety

It’s that time of year to ‘Get a Grip on Safety.’ This injury
reduction campaign focuses on the prevention of slips, trips and

falls at home and in the workplace. In the first year of this

enterprise-wide campaign, we reduced slips, trips and falls by
47 per cent over the year before. We need your help to ensure

this trend continues.

Remember, slips, trips and falls can happen to anyone, at any

time, in any location. Over the next six months, the Get a Grip
ATHLETES GET FUNDING BOOST
on Safety campaign will focus on:

ALL IN THE FAMILY AT WOOD BUFFALO

What’s a family gathering without a little excitement and a few special guests, right? This year’s annual Wood Buffalo Family

Day on Sept. 6 featured the contestants in the Suncor Amazing Race competition as well as retiree Jack Avery, an oil sands
pioneer who wore Badge #5 for Suncor. The event also included exhibits and booths from various departments, games,

giveaways and activities. We alternate locations each year between our base site and at the Suncor Community Leisure Centre.
This year, we had more than 1,000 people attend at base site – and by all reports, everyone had a blast.
