HSE
OUR SAFETY COMMITMENT
It is our collective goal to eliminate all injuries, occupational illnesses, unsafe practices and incidents of environmental harm from our activities. We believe that our work is never so urgent or important that we cannot take the time to do it safely and in an environmentally responsible manner. Our SPIRIT VALUES – Safety, People, Integrity, Responsibility, Innovation and Teamwork – inspire our actions and confirm that safety is core to how we operate. Our LIFE SAVING RULES guide the behavior of employees and contractors working on our global operations.
OPERATING SAFELY
Together, we work toward the goal of zero injuries, illnesses and incidents. Developing a strong culture of safety and delivering superior safety performance is achieved by having dedicated and engaged leadership working with a committed and skilled workforce. Working safely is a condition of employment, and each employee and contract worker has the right to stop any job they believe to be unsafe.
OPERATIONS EXCELLENCE (OE)
is a systematic and collaborative approach to enabling safe, reliable and efficient operations. It provides the tools to identify and turn opportunities into realized improvements. The approach recognizes the operational and business challenges inherent in our global business. OE's methodology is aimed at striking the optimal balance between the discipline gained from structured global processes and the quick decision making and personal ownership derived from an experienced-based organization.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Preventing spills or incidents through good project planning, design, implementation and leadership is our primary objective. However, if a spill or other unplanned event occurs, we have plans and processes in place to ensure we can respond effectively. We also conduct thorough investigations of all significant incidents to understand the root cause, share lessons learned and prevent future incidents.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTHAND INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE
The goal of our Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene team is to protect the health of workers and the neighboring community through the identification, evaluation and control of potential workplace exposures. Each product line develops and implements an Exposure Assessment Plan that identifies potential chemical and non-chemical exposures, and implements controls to prevent worker or community exposures. Health assessments are conducted to ensure that control measures are protecting the health of potentially exposed workers. Workers receive training in both personal and process safety as Safety and People are key components of our spirit values.
SECURITY
Although security risks can never be fully eliminated, we believe they can be effectively managed. We have taken comprehensive steps and invested heavily to address potential threats to our operations around the world. Through systematic security audits by specially trained personnel, we continuously monitor and assess our compliance globally with security regulations, company security policies and the potential for malicious action and implement a variety of preventive measures to provide for the safety and security of our personnel and operations.
SAFETY AND DATA SHEETS
provide procedures for handling or working with substances in a safe manner. They provide valuable information about the chemical makeup of toxic substances, as well as how to store and properly dispose of toxic substances.
ENVIRONMENT
AOSG is committed to protecting the environment that we share. We implement high environmental standards in order to ensure that our actions today will not only provide the services needed to drive economic growth and social well-being, but also secure a stable and healthy environment for tomorrow.
