Health and safety

We minimize the risk of harm and are committed to eradicating fatalities, life-changing injuries, and major environmental incidents. In the workplace, we take extensive measures aligned with industry standards and protocols to protect employees from chemical, physical, or biological exposures that may cause ill health, including occupational diseases.

Led by managers, all employees in the company are responsible for their health and safety, and collaboration is key to success. We also collaborate with customers, suppliers, and contractors to achieve our HSE objectives and to ensure we share a common culture of responsibility. 

All those working for us can report hazards, and all managers are encouraged to perform Safety Observation Tours to learn, engage, and make a difference, especially with our frontline workforce. As a learning organization, we promote an open reporting environment to ensure health, safety, and environment always come first in the decisions we make, with a focus on learning from successes and failures. 

Our approach to health and wellbeing is informed by numerous sources, including implementing key international principles from the World Health Organization and relevant international conventions and standards, such as those governed by the International Labour Organization.

Our policies around employee health and wellbeing outline how the company will fulfill its obligations and support people. Across our locations, we have 200 professionals focused on occupational health and industrial hygiene. They are helping provide positive health and wellbeing work environments in line with the three elements of our Health Wheel:
