Orich’s Safety Program

Page Summary
  • Orich is COR Certified, ComplyWorks Verified, and ISN Registered with active WCB coverage.
  • Safety starts with pre-job planning, hazard identification, and trained operators before work begins.
  • All hauling and hydrovac equipment is inspected, certified, GPS-tracked, and camera-equipped.

When you bring a hauling or hydrovac contractor onto your site, their safety record becomes part of yours. An incident involving an undertrained operator, poorly maintained equipment, or a crew that skipped the pre-job hazard assessment poses risks to your operation.

Orich Transport operates under a safety program aligned with Alberta OHS regulations and client site requirements.

How Orich Approaches Safety

Orich's safety program covers the full scope of our operations, from pre-job planning and operator training to equipment maintenance and on-site execution. Every aspect of the job protects our people, our clients' workforce, and the worksites we operate in across Alberta.

Operator Training

Orich's operators work on active oilfield, construction, and industrial sites. These are environments where conditions frequently change, and hazards are rea. Our operators are trained professionals who understand site demands, from wellsite protocols and heavy equipment handling to ground disturbance requirements and hydrovac safety.

Our crews communicate safety concerns openly, adapt to changing site conditions, and stop work when circumstances require it. A crew that flags a problem before it becomes an incident is more valuable than one that pushes through it.

Pre-Job Planning & Site Awareness

Most incidents on active worksites happen because hazards weren't identified before work began. Orich's safety program starts before any equipment moves.

Every job includes a pre-job review covering site access, hazard identification, utility locate status, crew assignments, equipment requirements, and coordination with site supervisors. By the time Orich's crew arrives on site, the work scope, risks, and controls are already documented.

Equipment Inspection & Maintenance

Orich maintains a regular inspection and preventative maintenance schedule across our entire fleet, covering hauling trucks, trailers, hydrovac units, and support equipment.

All equipment is certified and ready to work before it's dispatched to a job. GPS tracking and forward-facing cameras are installed on every unit, providing an additional layer of operational oversight. 

Hazard Identification & Risk Controls

Oilfield hauling and hydrovac work involves a consistent set of site hazards, including underground utilities, high-pressure systems, traffic exposure, unstable ground, adverse weather, and confined or restricted work areas. Orich's safety program addresses each of these with specific controls.

Hazard identification happens at the planning stage, is reviewed during site orientation, and is revisited when conditions change. That approach protects our people and keeps your site running without safety-related interruptions.

PPE Standards

Every Orich operator arrives on site with the personal protective equipment required by the job and site. PPE standards are aligned with Alberta OHS requirements, client site rules, and task-specific requirements.

Regulatory Compliance

Orich operates in full compliance with Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations across all hauling and hydrovac services. We align with client safety management systems and site-specific policies, and we maintain the certifications and registrations required by major operators, municipalities, and industrial clients as a condition of contractor approval.

Safety & Compliance Certifications

Orich Transport holds the certifications and registrations required by Alberta's oil & gas, construction, municipal, and industrial sectors. These credentials represent ongoing compliance with safety and operational standards that our clients depend on when approving contractors for their sites.
