Our commitment, charter & principles

by bmoignoux last modified 2006-02-21 18:15

We in ADVANSA are committed to continuous improvement in our safety, health and environmental performance and we believe that prevention of all injuries, occupational illnesses, major incidents and environmental pollution is a realistic goal and not just a theoretical objective.

Our goal really is ZERO.

We are committed to become a company where all of us, regardless of level or location…

 

  • Believe in "The Goal Of Zero" and that it is achievable and sustainable
  • Internalise and naturally takes SHE in consideration in everything we do
  • Recognise the value of and contribution that standards, systems and processes make to the success of our company
  • See SHE incidents as unusual and unacceptable but also opportunities for learning
  • Are committed to implementing learning and improvements to prevent SHE incidents

 


As individuals we have 10 principles that guide us in our everyday activities at work and away from work:

  • All injuries and occupational injuries can be prevented
  • Each employee is directly responsible for preventing injury & illness
  • Safety is a condition of employment; each employee must assume responsibility for working safely
  • Safety training is an essential element for safe workplaces
  • Safety audits must be conducted
  • The risk associated with all safety deficiencies must be assessed quickly and where appropriate corrections made promptly
  • It is essential to investigate not only all injuries but also all unsafe practices and incidents with injury potential
  • As well as safety on the job, Safety Off The Job is important
  • It is good business to prevent injuries and illnesses
  • People are the most critical element in the success of our safety & health programme
