Safety First
No matter how many projects Lear Construction has on the go, safety is the company’s first priority. The company’s proactive approach spans the entire operation, from the management team through to the contractors, trades and employees. It aims at keeping all employees and contractors engaged in their safety and aware of protocols. Safety considerations are worked into all procedures and aspects of the business. “We have a very rigorous safety program, and we are continually developing that,” says Landry. “It’s a very important part of our business. We need to make sure everyone gets home safely.” Lear is committed to protecting its most valuable assets – its people. To help achieve this, the company is a member of the Alberta Construction Safety Association and is involved with the Partnership in Injury Reduction program.
Environmental Responsibility
Being green is becoming increasingly important in business, and Lear Construction is dedicated to the effort. It strives to build facilities that embrace sustainable design while reducing environmental impacts. Because it is awarded many institutional and government projects, employing trusted LEED-designated professionals is critical. Lear has experience building facilities that meet LEED standards and has generated a solid portfolio of projects that support its proficiency in the area. Lear has taken its green initiatives to another level by using solar light towers on some sites in order to reduce the company’s carbon footprint. These fully automated towers not only light the area but allow crews to power their tools. These light towers reduce the cost of fuel as well as reduce noise associated with conventional generators.

The company’s environmental policies are wide reaching and incorporate everything from erosion and sediment control to preventing debris from blowing off job sites to preventing pollutants from being released into the environment.
Investing in the Industry
As invested as Lear is in the environment, it is equally invested in the construction industry itself. It is involved with the Alberta Construction Association, the Edmonton Construction Association and the Calgary Construction Association, attending committee meetings
