COMMITMENT – Vision – HSW Prevention
Program
At Transcontinental, occupational health, safety and wellness is as
important as productivity and quality; the Corporation has therefore made
a clear commitment to HSW
Commitment: Ensure and maintain a healthy and safe work environment for employees,
suppliers and contractors. Promote wellness in order to encourage healthy lifestyle practices.
Our vision is based, on our company’s values: respect for others,
professionalism and integrity, judgement and discipline, creativity and
innovation, and leadership and entrepreneurship.
Vision: To be a well known leader in health, safety and wellness.
•Develop exemplary practices in health, safety and wellness
•Develop wellness programs (Nutrition-Physical; Exercise-Prevention; etc)
Our program
To support our vision, we have set up Vigilance, which is the umbrella for all of Transcontinental’s health, safety and wellness
activities and initiatives. Vigilance translates into awareness of our actions, a commitment to change how we act, and adoption of
responsible behaviours that promote a healthy lifestyle.

VIGILANCE … a word that carries a lot of
meaning!
Vigilance truly reflects what is expected of us, individually and as a group, as we take charge of our
health, safety and wellness. Being vigilant is a state of mind: it makes us more attentive and careful
in what we do. Prevention, awareness and openness are also signs of a vigilant attitude.
As a whole, the visual is eye-catching and
immediately reminds employees of the importance of
remaining vigilant and attentive at all times, for their
own safety and that of others!
We use our eyes as a key element. It exemplifies the
human aspect of vigilance and emphasizes the individual,
i.e. each employee at Transcontinental.
