6.2 Health and Safety<br />
We are committed to providing our employees with a healthy and safe workplace. Our goal is to instill robust safety<br />
measu<strong>res</strong> at every level of the organization.<br />
We aim to p<strong>res</strong>erve everyone’s physical integrity through the implementation of our Environmental Health and Safety<br />
(EHS) standards. These include, but are not limited to:<br />
■ Evaluating workplace hazards and risks, and designing appropriate administrative and engineering controls to<br />
eliminate them<br />
■ Identifying emergency situations that may occur due to natural / unnatural disasters and establishing contingency<br />
plans that will minimize the impact on our employees and assets. These plans include investing in fire<br />
supp<strong>res</strong>sion equipment, chemical spills containment equipment, first aid equipment, etc.<br />
■ Implementing industrial hygiene programs that will minimize the impact on our employees and assets. This<br />
includes monitoring employees’ health, provision of protective equipment, and the evaluation of alternative<br />
technologies and materials.<br />
■ Educating employees on health and safety topics, training employees on how to deal with hazards and risks that<br />
cannot be eliminated at the workplace, and steps to take when emergencies occur.<br />
A. Safety 900 Program<br />
Safety 900 is designed to continuously improve our<br />
workplace environment, reducing accidents to zero<br />
tolerance level while meeting regulatory and customer<br />
demands. The program consists of self-assessment tools<br />
developed to <strong>rev</strong>iew, evaluate, scrutinize and improve<br />
every aspect of health and safety requirements. Safety<br />
900 looks at how employees at all levels can contribute<br />
positively to an improved safety culture.<br />
This program has proven to be <strong>high</strong>ly effective in raising<br />
health and safety awareness across the organization,<br />
<strong>res</strong>ulting in reduced accident rates. Safety 900 has also<br />
allowed us the flexibility to further develop and deploy<br />
individual safety programs to strengthen our overall<br />
performance.<br />
