SAFETY POLICY

Air Tindi, in partnership with its employees, strives to provide a safe and healthy work environment that exceeds both industry standards and regulatory requirements. The ultimate accountability for the functionality and constant development of the Safety Management System rests with me as the Accountable Executive. The responsibility for making our operations and workplace safe for ourselves, coworkers, customers, members of the public and company assets, lies with all employees equally. I strongly believe that safety encompasses all departments and levels of the organization.

Each manager is responsible for implementing all aspects of the company Safety Management System in their area of responsibility. All employees are responsible not only to perform their jobs in accordance with established procedures and safe work practices, but also to identify when improvements can be made to increase the safety of their work environment. This extends beyond normal working hours and for that reason, safe practices for employees during other activities are encouraged by Air Tindi. This is fundamental to our well-being as well as to the viability of our business.

One of the cornerstones of our safety culture continues to be the proactive management of identifiable risks. Front- line employees and managers must continue to be actively involved in ensuring our hazard register is continuously reviewed to prevent incidents and implement corrective actions to reduce risks. We will continue to provide employees with the required information, education and training as well as encourage involvement in our safety programs and the proactive reporting of potential safety hazards.

It is crucial for all employees to be committed to our safety beliefs by implementing our safety strategies in their everyday tasks. I trust that all of you will join me in a personal commitment not only to assist in strengthening our safety culture at Air Tindi, but also to make safety a way of life.
