Training is also an important component of our commitment to employee health and safety. SaskEnergy employees complete ongoing training in key areas to maintain current skills, and to learn new skills. This may include formal training, work observations, competency assessments, tabletop exercises, and safety-related collaboration with community and industry partners. Technology and corporate safety As information technology continues to play a bigger role in our operations, our commitment to corporate safety must also address cyber security risks, as well as risks to our infrastructure and assets. The protection of SaskEnergy’s physical and digital systems allows us to continue to provide safe and reliable natural gas delivery to our customers and safeguard our corporate data. Our security team evaluates and mitigates risks that are present in new technologies, and works with employees throughout the company on projects or changes that impact both information technology and operational technology. To raise awareness and prepare our staff in the case of any cyber or physical security risks, specific campaigns and initiatives focus on cyber security awareness, identifying and reporting phishing attempts, and the importance of protecting company assets in corporate and personal vehicles. In 2023-24, we introduced a fleet telematics system, which uses GPS and other technologies, to transmit data from our corporate vehicles when a trigger is activated, such as when an accident occurs. Our field employees spend a significant amount of time in their corporate vehicles and, for some, much of that time is spent alone. If the accident notification feature is triggered, an email is automatically sent to SaskEnergy’s Security Operations Centre, which is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The email alert includes information such as the vehicle’s fleet number, geolocation coordinates, and speed at the time of the accident, which allows us to contact the employee and respond immediately.
24/7 AROUND THE SOC MONITORING Inside SaskEnergy’s Security Operations Centre (SOC), it’s possible to be many places at once. To help protect our infrastructure and our employees who maintain our system, we have more than 400 cameras in place at approximately 50 of our sites across Saskatchewan. SaskEnergy’s SOC staff operate the centre 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If alarms are triggered at any of our facilities, the SOC is alerted, allowing for an immediate response to any potential threats or incidents. Another goal of the SOC is to limit the impact that security alarms have on our field staff. If an alarm goes off, the SOC’s cameras can confirm if anything is happening, without an employee needing to be on site to assess the situation. In addition, there is technology that automatically alerts the SOC if someone enters a specific area of a property. SaskEnergy employees are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to the SOC, whether it’s at our offices in major centres or at field sites across the province.
