Health, safety, security and environmental policy
Our aspirational goal is zero harm to people and the environment.
Zero harm means that we aspire to create a workplace that is injury and incident free. We seek to:
- create a safe and healthy work place and care for the communities we live in.
- minimise and, where possible, eliminate our environmental impacts over time.
International and national legislation and guidelines from the basis of our health, safety, security and environment (HSE) work. In addition, we take action measures seeking new technology and methods to reach beyond the requirements.
We believe accidents can be prevented by:
- Building a company culture which reinforces safety awareness among our employees.
- Ensuring practical and well-considered risk management onboard and ashore.
- Learning through analysing incidents and near accidents.
- Continuous improvement of procedures and routines.
Our managers are ultimately accountable for ensuring that we move towards our aspirational goal of zero harm. HSE responsibilities and tasks are defined and communicated throughout the organisation. We educate all employees to understand the implications of this HSE policy and continuously evaluate the need for resources to ensure that the policy is lived up to.
We monitor the HSE indicators through:
- Monthly reporting.
- Yearly evaluation of developments and trends included in the Company Management Review.
- Yearly planning of HSE objectives, targets and actions being part of the Focus plan process.
