The foundation of our culture
Industrial workplace safety is rarely ignored, but despite best intentions, it can often be deprioritized. With over three decades of experience in implementing safety processes throughout maintenance procedures, we have the people and strategy you need to help you implement a robust and safe maintenance program.
At ATS, safety and overall employee well-being is our number one cultural commitment. We think it, feel it, and live it every day. Our Beyond Zero safety culture prioritizes four key areas:
Physical Well-Being
Financial Well-Being
Social Well-Being
Emotional Well-Being
Our journey to beyond zero
At ATS, safety ties into everything we do but we know safety needs to go even beyond the factory walls. Through the integration of a new safety excellence program, our employees can holistically improve their overall wellbeing.
Watch our CEO describe our commitment to safety excellence.
The gold standard in safety excellence
To better manage the environmental, health, and safety (EHS) challenges inherent in manufacturing, we have an established, top-down cultural commitment to safety excellence. With a proven track record of maintaining a 50% lower recordable incident rate than the industry average, you can trust us to improve and positively impact your plant safety.
We are proud to be awarded the prestigious Robert W. Campbell Award by the National Safety Council (NSC), America’s leading nonprofit safety advocate.
“ATS’s ‘Beyond Zero’ multi-faceted approach to employee wellbeing is a fantastic case study on how even organizations with a well-established safety culture can continue to refine their safety practices to drive positive results for their workers and their bottom line.”
“ATS manages risks very well. Their employees are armed with tools to identify hazards before each job and control those risks. This is evident in the way they talk about their jobs too: intentional, prideful and humble.”– Katherine Mendoza, Director, Campbell Institute and NSC
