HSE Management System Standard - Wood Group

Wood Group HSE Management System Standard
Welcome to Wood Group’s
Health, Safety and Environmental
Management System Standard.
Wood Group is an increasingly global business operating
in over 50 countries. It is vital that we conduct all our
operations, wherever they are, in a way that neither
harms people nor the environment. We have moral,
professional and legal obligations to deliver our services
in ways that assure we protect people’s health,
prevent incidents and injuries and minimise adverse
environmental impact. Our commitment to that is clearly
laid out in our HSE Policy Statement.
We can only live up to that commitment if we organise
ourselves in a planned, systematic way and that is why
we have had a Wood Group HSE Management System
in place for many years. The regularly revised document
describing the system has become familiarly known over
the years as the ‘Red Book’.
This latest revision for 2012 has been significantly
updated to reflect current best practice and to fit within
the context of our recently launched Group core Values.
Sections on Leadership, Human Factors and Integrity
Management have been highlighted as especially relevant
updates and the core Values have been included as a
reminder of what we are committed to as an integral part
of doing business.
We emphasise the Safety & Assurance core Value as
our top priority, and as it is colour coded in blue, we
anticipate that this new revision of the Standard will
become known as the ‘Blue Book’.
The ‘Blue Book’ contains sound advice for transforming
our aspirations into practice and it is vital that Business
and HSE leaders read, understand and apply it.
