 Reasons For A Strong HSE Program
The personnel of all of the Jacobs Engineering Group
Companies are considered as our most important asset
and, therefore, the prevention of job-related injuries and
illnesses will be given precedence over other activities
whenever necessary.

It is the Policy of all of the Jacobs Engineering Group

Companies to provide and maintain a safe and healthful
working environment and to follow operating practices
which will safeguard all Employees and result in a more
efficient operation.

6
 Reasons For A Strong HSE Program

Safety is everyone's responsibility. All levels of Management of each

Company are responsible for providing the resources necessary to
maintain a safe and working environment, for establishing policy, and
for ensuring that policy is implemented. Supervisors are responsible
for implementing policy and ensuring that day-to-day activities are
conducted in a safe and healthy manner. Employees are responsible
for performing their tasks so as not to endanger themselves, other
workers, members of the general public or the environment.

All of the Jacobs Engineering Group Companies are committed to safety

excellence and the goal of Zero Accidents. The same commitment is
expected of all employees.
