Commitment to Safety

Altius' Board, Officers, Managers and Employees are committed to health, safety and mitigation of the environmental footprint resulting from our varied mineral exploration activities.

Altius' employees are required to adhere to all aspects of the Company's Health and Safety program to ensure that not only they, but their coworkers as well as contractors, consultants, observers and visitors remain healthy and safe at all times. Safety policies, procedures and regulations have been established for all individuals and/or companies involved in our activities. However, should an affiliate have policies superior to those of Altius, the higher standard will be followed and vice versa.

Since inception of the Altius health and safety program in 2005, Altius has remained compliant with the Occupational Health & Safety Legislation and strives to exceed minimum requirements. Altius considers its health and safety program to be a "living document" that will change, update and adopt to meet with our own ever increasing health and safety standards as well as the evolving culture of safety in our industry and workplace.

  • has successfully maintained PRIME status since 2005.
