HSE Governance, Assurance & System Improvement

Implementation

To effectively manage health, safety, and environmental (HSE) responsibilities, it is essential to establish a robust framework that ensures compliance, oversees risks, and promotes continuous enhancement of HSE practices. Here we outline the structured approach to implementing HSE Governance, Assurance, and System Improvement within our organization.

a) HSE Governance: At the core of our strategy is a strong governance framework that aligns HSE objectives with our corporate mission. This framework provides the foundation for decision-making and leadership accountability, ensuring that HSE considerations are integral to all business processes.

• Leadership Oversight: Executive leadership is actively involved in the oversight of HSE policies and strategic decisions, demonstrating a top-down commitment to HSE excellence.
• Policy Development: We develop and periodically review HSE policies that comply with legal standards and reflect best practices, ensuring they are effectively communicated across the organization.

b) HSE Assurance: Assurance activities are critical to verify that HSE practices are properly implemented and effective in managing risks.

• Compliance Audits: Regular audits are conducted to assess compliance with internal policies and external regulatory requirements, identifying areas for improvement.
• Performance Monitoring: We implement rigorous monitoring systems to track HSE performance, using key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure success and guide operational adjustments.

c) System Improvement: Continuous improvement is embedded into our HSE management system, ensuring it remains dynamic and responsive to changes in our operating environment.

• Feedback Mechanisms: We encourage feedback from employees at all levels, which is systematically analysed to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Innovation and Learning: Investment in training and development ensures our team is equipped with the latest knowledge and skills. We also adopt innovative technologies and practices to enhance our HSE performance.
• Corrective Actions: Findings from audits, inspections, and feedback sessions lead to immediate corrective actions, followed by strategic initiatives to prevent recurrence and enhance overall system resilience.
