When Dale O’Dwyer thinks about work, safety is the first thing that comes to mind. That’s because he heads up Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) Project’s safety department, which focuses on ensuring staff and contractors meet the project’s strict safety guidelines when working in the field. Nobody wants to get hurt on the job, and O’Dwyer does everything he can to keep it that way, even going so far as to issue emailed moose alerts for those driving the highways of northern B.C.

“I know it sounds a little cliché, but safety really is our number one priority,” notes O’Dwyer. “I’m proud of the safety record TransCanada has, and that’s largely a testament to the focus that we put on safety — throughout the company — every day.”
