As we prepare to welcome teams to execute Syncrude’s 2020 Critical Maintenance Event, focus and commitment from all workers will be required in order to carry out the plan safely. Safety has always been at the forefront of the way we work. Therefore, in order to create an environment where Nobody Gets Hurt it is important for us to all work together to adhere to the workplace health and safety processes across the Syncrude sites and commit to following all procedures and guidelines. Our number one priority is always the health and safety of workers.

This year, we are dealing with many unprecedented events, including the new risk of the COVID-19 pandemic and this is having an impact on how we onboard workers to site. We remain committed to protecting our people, contractors and staff, and providing you with access to the necessary site information needed to do your job safely.

Syncrude has developed protocols to keep people safe against COVID-19. It is important for everyone to understand that these measures are for your safety and the safety of your co-workers. Our first and foremost priority is ensuring the safety of our people, including those who work for our contractor companies. In an effort to help stop the spread and flatten the infection curve, Syncrude requires all workers to keep informed about our ongoing response to COVID-19 as we work together to protect all of our workers and their families.

Syncrude upholds all Alberta Building Trades Collective Agreements, which offer highly competitive wages for Skilled Trades in Canada.

Lodging and food are hosted by Syncrude at Civeo’s Lodges for the duration of your contract. Bus transportation between the Lodges and the Syncrude worksite is also complimentary and we will be providing uninterrupted transportation services from the Civeo Lodges to four designated work locations at Syncrude Mildred Lake Site. These buses will service building 1055 (Conversion area), building 51 (Utilities and Offsites), 1294 complex (Hydroprocessing main), and MLV turnstiles. Syncrude ID card swipes will be conducted prior to boarding the bus for Site Access, and busing schedules will be posted and available at the lodges and on civeo.com/syncrude for your convenience; please note these schedules are subject to frequent changes.
