The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada successfully developed the Environmental Excellence in Exploration project, dubbed “E3”. The prime objective of E3 is to improve environmental practices in exploration. Making available the latest in cost effective “best practices” in the exploration business. E3 will ensure the least adverse impact on the environment and local communities. VPDD is committed to working using E3 guidelines to ensure environmental responsibility.
VPDD has adapted a series of rubber-tracked carriers which greatly minimize the environmental impact on drill sites. Another benefit of using these vehicles is the cost savings associated with a decreased time for setups and moves. Once these drills arrive on site, they are ready to drill. They are turnkey units requiring no assembly.
The personal safety and health of each employee of this company is of primary importance. Vic Progressive Diamond Drilling is firmly committed to establishing, promoting and maintaining a safety system that will sustain a safe and healthy work place. We abide by the best industry practices and legislative requirements and conduct periodic assessments of our operations to identify risks and reduce personnel exposure. A proper attitude toward injury and illness prevention on the part of both management and employees is essential to help make our safety program successful.
