The external Certificate of Recognition (COR) auditor stated that the company achieved the three-year Certificate of recognition Health and Safety Program audit endorsement for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario operations with an audit score of 96 percent. The Company’s BC COR Certificate expires on July 24, 2023.

The scope of the audit was based on a review of the directive and operational HSE documents and virtual interviews from senior and middle managers, supervisors, and workers. Observational visits were not included due to COVID-19.

Although the HSE team led by Director, Jen Alain, is pleased with such a fantastic score, they recognize it’s a dynamic program and requires continuous improvement. Jen Alain comments:

“Our safety program doesn’t stop at implementation; the growth and improvement of the program depend on engagement and feedback from the entire team. Employee engagement and continuous communication not only improve our safety processes but extends to other departments too. By building a community and environment that embraces change and open conversations, we see success in all areas of the organization, which is ultimately passed on to our clients and partners.”

This score isn’t the only thing GeoVerra is celebrating these days. With over a million working hours and zero lost time, the company continues to demonstrate its commitment to working safely, on and off the job site.

The COR auditor adds,

“GeoVerra should be proud of the impressive amount of work that has been done in implementing safety into every aspect of the Company’s operations since its inception less than a year ago.”

GeoVerra scored exceptionally high on the following categories:

• Management, Leadership & Organizational Commitment
• Hazard Assessment & Control
• Inspections
• Qualifications, Orientation & Training
• Incident Reporting & Investigation
• System Administration
• Joint Health & Safety Committee

Summary of strengths and comments from GV team members:

• Successful integration of xAltus/xWSP’s safety programs
• Employees are appreciative of the expanded HSE department
• The efforts to streamline/consolidate our hazard assessment documentation on eCompliance
• High standards of our safe work procedures
• High standards for survey equipment, regardless of the strained economic conditions of the past year
• Strong support of our HSE department from CEO, COO, VPs, and Directors, which is one of the keys to the employee’s quick adaption of the new safety program

Since its introduction, the Magna M-Terrain has proven to be the ideal tire pattern for earthmoving equipment operating on challenging offroad surfaces. The demand from the market for made in Holland tires is increasing strongly, in particular the size 29.5R25.

With the current addition, Magna Tyres responds at the earliest opportunity and shows that they are capable to listen to the market and able to produce it within a short time. The number of sizes in the M-Terrain series rises to 3, and hence complements the 25” Made in Holland line-up. Magna Tyres is now able to deliver a Made in Holland solution ranging from 17.5R25 to 29.5R25.

EUR.1 Certified

This unique robust E4/L4 tire, specifically developed for medium / large wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks has been completely manufactured in the Netherlands, resulting in the EUR.1 certificate for this tire. This certificate enables our customers in countries such as the USA / Brazil and Turkey to import this 29.5R25 M-Terrain at a reduced or nil rate of import duty under trade agreements between the EU and beneficiary countries.

Made in Holland

Magna Tyres Group is committed to delivering the required quality and guaranteeing the product availability demanded by its ever-growing customer base. Bringing back a part of the 25” tire production to our own Dutch factory has more than proved to be an excellent decision over the past years.

With this latest release of the 29.5R25 E4/L4 tire, we serve to anticipate current and future needs from our major Mining & Earthmoving customers.
