Safety First – Our #1 Priority
We train and direct staff to:
• Always have a site specific safety plan and site specific emergency plan.
• Ensure pre-work hazard assessments are complete and understood.
• Ensure job hazards analyses are complete and understood.
• Do everything possible to protect themselves, co-workers, and members of the public.
• Stop work if the safety of themselves, co-workers and members of the public cannot be assured.
• Identify and report unsafe behaviour and coach each other to make improvements.
• Be prepared and equipped to work safely.

Accessibility
Station and Stops are designed to be universally accessible, including satisfaction of the AODA, applicable City of Toronto Guidelines, the OBC, and CSA Standards.
Some of those features include:
• Barrier‐free paths from the entrance level to the station platform level
• Tactile warning strips and tactile walking surface indicators
• Signage systems with tactile indicators
• Passenger Assistance Intercoms (PAI)
• Low floor Light Rail Vehicles (LRV) with designated wheelchair locations
• Nominal gaps from platform edges to LRV entries
• Automated visual and audible stop announcements
• On-street and off-street paratransit passenger pick-ups and drop-offs

Environment & Sustainability
During Construction
• Programs to minimize impact on wildlife, their habitats, watercourses and trees
• Reduce impact on our community neighbours through the management of dust,
noise and vibration
• Sustainable construction practices, including active management of construction
and demolition generated wastes, targeting 75% waste diversion from landfills;
and off-site beneficial reuse of excess soil.
Project Design Sustainability
• Project wide application of Toronto Green Standard
• LEED Certification at EMSF
• Bike parking for short- and long-term users
• Dedicated pedestrian routes
• High Solar Reflectance Index paving
• Green roofs
• Water use conservation/efficiency
• Fritted glazing (minimize bird collisions)
• Shielded exterior lighting (prevent off-site light trespass)
• Sheltered waiting areas
• Energy efficiency – LED lighting, heat recovery systems
• Landscaping – use of native, drought-tolerant plants and large trees
