Health, Safety & Environmental Policy

 

It is GulfSAF Groups firm belief that every job undertaken can be planned, conducted and completed in a healthy, safe and environmentally acceptable manner.

In order to achieve these objectives the company is committed to providing sufficient Personnel, training and resources to meet the required company standards and local legislation as a minimum. All issues relating to HSE will be given equal importance to other activities undertaken by the company.

The company will provide support and encouragement to ensure that health, safety and environmental measures implemented, reflect the level of commitment required to maintain and improve the company's performance in such matters as is reasonably practicable.

Company management and personnel shall ensure that all approved procedures, including those of sub-contractors and third parties are monitored and adhered to. The company shall ensure that operations are conducted in such a manner that they do not contravene the health or safety of employees, third parties, or the general public and that they do not unreasonably effect the environment.

Company personnel have an individual responsibility to conduct operations in a safe and environmentally accepted manner.

They will report any accident, incident or near miss and shall assist management to assess cause and effect to determine whether any realistic and practical improvements could be made to enhance the company's health, safety and environmental standards and procedures.

Company personnel shall assess the environmental impact of company managed operations to determine the effectiveness of the company's policies and procedures.

Drugs, Alcohol and Substance Abuse Policy

The use or abuse of alcohol, non-prescribed drugs or any other banned substances whilst in company employment is forbidden and offenders shall be summarily dealt with. In certain countries the possession or use of these items is a criminal act, sometimes punishable by death.

The company shall as a matter of policy reserve the right to perform random testing of employees for the presence of any of the above substances and if found, then the individual shall be subjected to disciplinary action not excluding criminal proceedings.

Medical research has proved that the use of these substances degrades an individual's operational capability and his mental alertness, which undermines his safety and the safety of his colleagues which further, strengthens the company's resolve to ensure compliance with this policy.
