PROJECT SPECIFIC HSE PLAN

1. PROJECT POLICY STATEMENT.

1.1. HSE Policy

ABC is a professional and safety conscious organisation which values the effective management of health, safety and welfare throughout all stages of its work. The clear objective is to minimise harm to persons and property by adopting a proactive approach to effective risk and safety management. All work will be carried out in accordance with Best Management Practices BMP’s, to the relevant statutory provisions with all reasonably practicable measures being taken to avoid risk to employees and others who may be affected by our work.

Management and supervisory staff have responsibilities for the implementation of the policy and must ensure that health and safety is given adequate consideration in the planning and day-to day supervision of all work.
ABC will fully comply with the duties placed upon it within the requirements of Statutory Legislation, whilst at all times complying with, as a matter of best practice, the requirements and duties set out within Approved Codes of Practice and Guidance as issued by the Health and Safety Executive.
All employees and subcontractors are expected to co-operate and assist in the implementation of this policy, whilst ensuring that their own works, so far as is reasonably practicable, are carried out without risk to themselves, others or the environment. This includes cooperating with management on any health, safety, welfare or environment related matter.
Employee consultation and participation is a vital part of our policy. Individuals also have duties and are encouraged and expected to co-operate, contribute ideas, suggest improvements, report shortcomings and generally look after the health, safety and welfare of themselves and others.
ABC will take all practical steps to ensure that potential hazards and risks are identified and that suitable and effective preventative and control measures are implemented. The correct safety equipment and personnel protective equipment will be provided to all employees. All employees will be provided with the necessary information, instruction and training in safe methods of work, and the safe and efficient operation and maintenance of tools and equipment.
The Directors have overall responsibility for all Health, Safety, Welfare and Environmental matters. The operation of this policy and the associated procedures will be monitored and reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that they remain current and applicable to the company's activities. This policy has been endorsed by the Board of Directors who give their full support to the implementation of the policy.
Everybody who works for ABC anywhere is responsible for environment, health and safety. It is as critical to the success of our business as cost, time and quality.
People are our most important asset and we recognize that their health, safety and welfare and that of all stakeholders and communities with which we interact are paramount. Equally we accept our responsibility to provide leadership in sustainable environmental practice and to minimize environmental impact by controlling waste, reducing pollution, using energy efficiently and acting as good neighbours.
Our goal is simply stated - to eliminate accidents and harm to people, the environment and the business. As a minimum, wherever we operate in the world, we will comply with legislation and work with our clients, consultants, contractors and regulators to raise standards towards best practice. Our performance, good and bad, will be openly reported.
We will appoint staff who are competent and encourage their personal development through regular appraisal, guidance, training and recognition.
Compliance with legislation is only the starting point in achieving our goal. Environment, health and safety will be managed by focusing on the major risks and opportunities with incremental review and improvement against measurable targets.
A main board director has been appointed to monitor and regularly review this policy. Regional Directors, Vice Presidents and Senior Managers are responsible for its implementation and for the provision of financial and physical resources. Line management in the regions are accountable for its practical application at the workplace, supported by expert advice, audits, systems and consultation.
We believe that the process is so urgent and important that we will provide the resources to find a safe and environmentally acceptable solution. I am personally committed and I empower all employees to make the achievement of this policy a personal responsibility in their area of operation.
