HSSE Policy
GGCL Policy
Our duty of care for Health, Safety, Security and the Environment (HSSE) is a core value in GGCL. We aim to protect the health, safety and security of our people, to minimise the environment impact associated with our business and to assure the integrity and safe operation of assets.
Policy Rationale
We believe that outstanding business performance requires outstanding HSSE performance. The safe delivery of projects and operation of facilities is a critical success factor for our business. Our HSSE goal is to deliver our business with zero injuries to our people and to minimise the environmental impact of our activities. We seek to continuously improve HSSE performance.
Every individual has a duty to both themselves and those around them to ensure that safe practice is adhered to at all times. We expect all our personnel to recognise their personal responsibility for supporting outstanding HSSE performance and to accept a duty to intervene when necessary to promote and reinforce compliance with this Policy. All managers are accountable for HSSE within their area of the business and are responsible for ensuring that their team adopts exemplary HSSE behaviours. This Policy supports the following Business Principles:
- We believe that all injuries are preventable
- We provide healthy, safe and secure work environments
- We make a positive contribution to the protection of the environment
- We go beyond compliance with local environmental regulation to meet internationally accepted best practice
- We reduce to the minimum practicable any adverse effects of our operations on the environment
Applicability
Every employee, director or officer of GGCL must follow this Policy. Contract personnel working for GGCL must also follow this Policy. Contractors and consultants are required to act consistently with this Policy when working for GGCL as our agent, on our behalf or in our name on any business activity including when delivering outsourced services.
Breach of a GGCL Policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Contracted personnel who fail to comply with this Policy may have their contract terminated, not renewed, or be subject to other appropriate action. GGCL reserves the right to amend or update this Policy as required from time to time
Policy Implementation
To meet our HSSE Policy and goals, GGCL will:
- maintain and communicate Standards and Guidelines which reflect best industry practice and are consistent with legal and regulatory requirements in all operational areas;
- establish clear accountabilities and performance expectations for HSSE in the management structure and for all employees in the organisation;
- ensure that our employees and contractors understand their HSSE accountabilities and are aware of the behaviours expected during performance of duties and service delivery;
- promote a supportive culture where people are encouraged and feel able to intervene and report on HSSE issues of concern and where continuous improvement is fundamental to the way we work;
- ensure that the organisation is properly resourced, commensurate with the risks involved to enable effective management of HSSE risks;
- provide a safe working environment which protects against injury and minimises incidents of work-related ill health;
- provide appropriate security protection for our employees and contractors against threats which may occur when they are working and travelling on GGCL business, in line with our duty of care obligations;
- adopt a risk-based approach to the design, construction and operation of facilities; where necessary develop and implement appropriate plans to ensure that HSSE risks are As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP);
- maintain Emergency Response, Crisis Management and Business Continuity plans and test these regularly to ensure their effectiveness;
- operate in accordance with the environmental management standard ISO 14001 in all facilities which GGCL operate; ;
- work to reduce environmental emissions, waste and the use of energy relative to activity;
- investigate HSSE incidents and act on the results to ensure that key lessons are learnt across the organisation;
- consult with all interested stakeholders (including governments, employees, partners, customers, contractors, local communities and industry organisations) to understand and take account of their concerns; and
- publicly report on appropriate HSSE objectives and performance, fully co-operate with relevant government agencies, and work with the industry to improve HSSE practices and learn from each other’s experiences.
When working for GGCL, personnel must:
- understand their HSSE accountabilities as specifically detailed in their job descriptions and this policy;
- familiarise themselves with the GGCL HSSE Policy and Standards relevant to their role and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements;
- carry out their duties in accordance with the HSSE Standards and regulations applicable to their role, ensuring that they take appropriate care of themselves and others at all times;
- plan work to ensure safe delivery of activities for which they are responsible, stopping the job when unsafe situations arise;
- ensure they wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) where required and report any defects;
- not interfere or tamper with equipment provided to protect HSSE;
- intervene to promote good HSSE behaviours and stop unsafe acts by others, recognising that they should not put themselves at risk in so doing;
- promptly report hazards, hazardous conditions and near misses that they observe could lead to health, safety or security incidents, damage to the environment or damage and loss of company assets;
- promptly report incidents and contribute to investigations when required; and
- seek advice and guidance if they are required to carry out activities for which they have not been trained or that are beyond their level of competence.
