Eye on Safety Spotlight
Airfield Electrical Team, GTAA
The GTAA Airfield Electrical Maintenance Team has not only corrected over 5200 lights on the airfield since August 2022, but they have also maintained the ability for aircraft to safely arrive and depart at night and in low visibility conditions. This team was recognized for their tireless efforts to keep the travelling public, aircraft, pilots, the aviation community and other GTAA airside staff safe during night operations!
Fire Services Instructors at FESTI
Every day, our team works with students and instructs them on safe practices and hazard awareness. The team, which includes Neil Stephens, Jade McGarr, Randy Fleming, Alan Brody, Chad Kavanaugh, Mark Smith, Chris Thomas and Steph Haldane, work with clients and staff in a high-risk environment, yet maintains a low recordable injury rate. Congratulations to this outstanding team at our Fire Emergency Services Training Institute!
Patricia L. Pass Permit Office, GTAA
Through GTAA wellness, Patricia always follows safety rules and puts a high level of importance on employee safety and health, setting a great example for others to do the same through her leadership in the office.
Obo Hassan, Dexterra
Obo is a diligent and dedicated individual whose work ethic is outstanding. Obo has been working at Pearson for 13 years and every year looks for new ways to incorporate safety with Dexterra. He prioritizes safety not only for their employees but all guests and workers at YYZ.
Parveen M., AAS Canada Inc., Core Division
Parveen was the surrey driver for a passenger who suffered an apparent coronary incident on the morning of April 13. Parveen immediately phoned the GTAA emergency line. Despite the stress and urgency of the situation, Parveen kept her cool in directing medical assistance to the scene. Thank you, Parveen, for your continued efforts, your situational awareness and practicing safe reporting!
Thank you for being a safety champion at Toronto Pearson!
