How we work

Safety is paramount at BA Blacktop. Our Goal Zero philosophy, integrated into our business strategy, aims to protect our people, partners, and clients from workplace health risks. We are ISO 45001 certified and have been BCCSA COR members since 2003, setting industry-leading standards across all operations.

Health and safety evolve throughout a project’s lifecycle, so we engage our skilled workforce to manage risks holistically. Through cooperation and consultation, we strive for continual improvement and safer methods of delivery.

Education is key. We hold an annual International Safety Day to promote health and wellbeing, ensuring every employee understands their role in preventing accidents and changing behavior.

 

BA Blacktop believes every employee is responsible for protecting and improving our environment through sustainable development. Our team integrates environmental protection into all services, considering economic, environmental, and social sustainability throughout a project’s lifecycle.

With experience in sensitive environmental settings in the Lower Mainland, we deliver projects that minimize environmental impacts using cost-effective controls and management systems. Since receiving ISO 14001:2015 certification in 2019, our commitment to environmental sustainability is consistently upheld across all levels of our organization, ensuring Best Management Practices in all construction activities.

BA Blacktop is dedicated to building healthy communities by supporting over 20 local community groups, Indigenous Groups, and charities each year. Our commitment to numerous events and causes benefits people throughout BC and beyond.

We also support associations focused on social and professional integration in Canada through the VINCI Canada Fund (administered by Myriad Canada). Funded by donations from VINCI’s companies in Canada, the fund promotes initiatives to combat exclusion and encourage professional integration. Our support includes employee sponsorships and financial assistance.

BA Blacktop is dedicated to recognizing and respecting the rights of Indigenous People in Canada. We aim to be a respectful, trustworthy neighbor and foster business relationships with First Nations in British Columbia.

We have a strong legacy of working with Indigenous organizations on various projects. As a member of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business it is important to us that our approach to Indigenous Relations considers the culture and values ​​and respect for our indigenous partners. Through partnerships with Tsawwassen First Nation, Musqueam, Squamish Nation and Tsleil-Waututh Nation, we build trust and cooperation. We also develop relationships with other Indigenous groups, focusing on mutual interests and improving capabilities through employment, procurement, and community action.
