HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT AND SECURITY POLICY

HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT AND SECURITY POLICY

HEALTH AND WELLBEING We strive to ensure that all employees recognize the threat that drugs and alcohol may pose to Health and Safety. To be at work in possession of or under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited and disciplinary action will follow. We will carry out screening and random testing as and when required. We strive to ensure that all employees recognize the threat that active (and passive) smoking of tobacco poses to health and safety. To do so we designate all Aprile vehicles and premises as nonsmoking areas except designated areas. It is strictly prohibited on hazardous work sites and local regulations will then apply. ENVIRONMENT We must conduct our activities in a manner which will minimise any harmful effect on the environment. To do so we will train staff to understand human activity impact on the environment, identify were we can minimize the production of waste, traffic movement and nuisance, promote recycling, dispose of items in a responsible manner and set achievable targets for waste reduction. ONGOING IMPROVEMENT We aim to continuously improve the HSES performance of our service. We do this through evaluating risks and performance; defining work processes, internal audits and reporting incidents. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Legislation, permits, (client) standards and internal company guidelines apply as a minimum standard. PREVENTION, REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION OF INCIDENTS Incidents must be prevented. Aprile has a hazard analysis process and manages its operation via procedures and standards. Should any incident occur, all possible measures will be taken to prevent escalation. The organization will be prepared by applying training and practice. Near miss incidents are investigated to find the root cause. Measures to prevent repetition must be implemented. We carry out regular reviews of our HSES performance. LINE RESPONSIBILITY Line management is primarily responsible implementing and observing this policy. . SAFETY We must identify risks before start of the work and train all staff to recognize and report risks and do their work in a safe manner. SAFE DRIVING We must drive in such a manner as to minimize the chances of being involved in an accident or suffering injury while driving. Travel must be managed through firm rules, journey management and performance monitoring of staff and equipment. Vehicles must be equipped as required. SECURITY We must guarantee security of our premises and staff. To do so we will keep staff informed of developments and take needed measures. COMMUNICATION Management must enable regular and open communication such that problems can be discussed and solutions found. To do so we communicate openly with all staff, we promote and reward safe behaviour, we inform staff of their duty to act responsibly and to take all reasonable precautions, we ensure responsibilities of all staff are clearly defined, we train our staff for their duties, we ensure commitment of subcontractors, we carry out assessments of new and existing operations, inspections and audits. EMPLOYEES All employees are responsible for observing this policy, the HSES aspects of their work, observing the procedures and instructions and their own actions. In order to achieve this management must make adequate resources available to them. We request and encourage an active role from our employees by providing information, training, instruction and where necessary, corrective measures. All employees are under an obligation to report incidents and near misses. We must encourage developments aimed at further improvement. CONTRACTORS The same requirements apply to contractors and other providers of services as to our own employees. If their own policies and procedures are found to be inadequate, Aprile management will provide them with an induction and other relevant information to their task.
