HSEQ

Occupational safety
and health

The main objective of the HSEQ management system is to minimise negative impacts on employees. The main thing is to identify the risks, determine which measures can reduce their impact on employees, and consistently require compliance with these measures.

HSEQ principles

The occupational safety and health management system is defined primarily in the HSEQ documentation, which includes HSEQ guidelines and instructions, risk assessment and work categorisation. Managers are responsible for safety in their sections and departments.

Employees are informed about the dangers and risks at their workplaces, heed this information, and have the relevant knowledge and skills enabling them to work safely. The safety manager - who has the required professional competence, knowledge and experience – works closely with employees in the HSEQ department.

They also prepare the relevant documentation and, at the start of every year, prepare the HSEQ Assessment document for the preceding year. 

HSEQ principles

Injury prevention

Many of the work and activities we carry out are connected with an elevated risk of accident. We therefore perform such work and activities according to pre-approved operational work instruction. This documentation prioritises working procedures that promote occupational safety and health, help prevent injuries, damage to health and danger to people as much as possible. Before commencing potentially hazardous work, all involved employees must demonstrably familiarise themselves with the work instruction. During such work, a designated worker will monitor the situation at the workplace. In the event of danger, they will stop the work and take the workers to a safe place.

Protective equipment

Our employees are equipped with quality personal protective equipment – primarily work clothing that protects them in the event of an accident at the workplace. This work clothing is tailor-made for each employee, and is fire-resistant for a specific time, and has significantly longer service life than regularly available work clothing.
