Our goal is to be compliant with local legislation wherever we work, and for our people to be empowered to minimise health and safety risks in their work environment.

  • We provide adequate resources for health and safety, including performance monitoring and assessment against published objectives and targets.
  • We will report and investigate accidents, incidents and near misses and draw lessons learned from such events, take corrective action, and ultimately prevent recurrences.

  • We will engage and collaborate with our sub-contractors to ensure that their health and safety, and environmental capability and competence are consistent with regulations.

Our goal is for BSI to achieve not only local compliance but global stewardship in health, safety, and environmental management.

  • In accordance with our leadership in global EHS practices, we have adopted the principles of BS8800 and OHSAS18001 / ISO 14001.
  • We ensure the health and safety competence of our sub-contractors.
  • Our HSE policy is reviewed and amended, as necessary and at least on an annual basis, with the goal of meeting and exceeding emerging requirements and expectations in HSE worldwide.
