VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 08/18/16 — LITE ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES INC. (the “Company”) (CSE: LTE)(OTC Pink: LTCCF), a total integrated fibre optic solutions provider, is pleased to provide an update on the current operational activities of the Company and to announce that it has received Certificate of Recognition (“COR”) certification for its safety program.
The Certificate of Recognition (COR) is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes companies who develop and implement health and safety and injury management systems that meet an industry standard. The program rewards employers who take a strategic approach to workplace safety and are committed to reducing both the human and financial costs of workplace injuries. The BC Construction Safety Alliance is the COR Certifying Partner for employers in the construction industry.
Mike Plotnikoff, CEO of Lite Access, stated, “Achieving Certificate of Recognition certification is a significant accomplishment and key differentiator for Lite Access. Most clients require their construction contractors to have a recognized safety program in place as a prequalification to bid on projects – being COR certified exceeds that requirement.”
“Pursuing COR was an intensive endeavor that we remained dedicated to completing, and besides the obvious new business opportunities it opens up for us, it speaks to our commitment of providing a safe and rewarding work environment for our entire team,” said Wade Wurzer, General Manager of Construction and Design at Lite Access.
