Worley receives K+S 2025 Large Project Contractor Safety Award for Saskatchewan cogeneration project

Award and evaluation

Worley’s Canada construction team received the K+S 2025 Large Project Contractor Safety Award for its work on the cogeneration project for K+S Potash Canada. K+S’ Contractor Safety Award recognises organisations that demonstrate the company’s belief that nothing is more important than health and safety, with evaluation covering observations, audits, inspections, incident management, ownership, continuous improvement and contributions to site safety culture.

Project scope

Worley’s scope on the Saskatchewan cogeneration project included construction, commissioning and startup, with some engineering support.

Safety approach and practices

K+S said the Worley team stood out for teamwork, a collaborative approach to sharing safety learnings, management of risk across disciplines and contributions to K+S’ safety programme through systems, ideas and solutions. The team used daily toolbox talks, field-level risk assessments at the work location and Life Conversation Cards to capture safety observations, interventions and positive recognition.

Outcomes and recognition

The cogeneration units will supply steam and electric power to support K+S’ future production and are expected to increase the facility’s self-sufficiency and control over power supply and pricing. K+S presented the team with a traditional mining lantern as the award trophy. Jordan Hintz, Senior Manager HSSEQ at K+S Potash Canada, said the culture of care and teamwork drives safety success, and Tim Burnham, Worley Canada operations leader, thanked colleagues for caring for one another and delivering work safely.
