Employee health and safety has always been a high-level commitment for Taseko, Gibraltar, and Florence Copper management.
The health, safety, and well-being of our employees, contractors and their families is a priority. Our operational practices focus on improved safety performance and occupational health.
By enlisting the support of each employee, the Company has developed departmental goals aimed at encouraging all employees to lead by example in incident prevention.
Investing in our employees, specifically their training, gives each individual the confidence to be a leader in looking out not only for their own safety but the safety of their coworkers.

Safety is the top priority at Taseko and we take great care to ensure safety is the first consideration in all decisions and actions we take.
