Management Systems

TransAlta's integrated EH&S management systems consist of formal, documented processes for managing environmental risks, and ensuring high standards for employee safety at our facilities. They provide the framework for all our sites to meet our EH&S legal obligations and corporate standards, and to promote continuous improvement.

During the year, we applied our integrated management systems to our Vision Quest wind power division.

Operating effective management systems in our business requires that our workers clearly understand their EH&S roles and responsibilities. In 2004, we carried out awareness training at our Alberta coal plants. More than 600 employees, including operators, maintenance staff and administrative employees, took part in the two-hour sessions.
