OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY
The Company recognizes the exposure of risks to personnel who work onboard its vessels and at its headquarters on land. The Company has therefore prepared extensive safety instructions complying with both national and international requirements, as well as with Classification Society regulations and client requirements to minimize latent risks. These instructions are for both the ship's crew and subcontractors working on board.
These instructions should contribute to:
- The prevention of human injury or loss of life
- A Safe work environment
- Safe working practices
- Identify risk and safety hazards
- Maintaining high safety standards on board
- Continuous improvement in staff security management skills
- Prepare for safety-related emergencies
- Build a reputation as a safety-conscious company
We carry out regular inspections of equipment and reviews of procedures to ensure compliance with up-to-date security management.
We complete regular "on-the-job" training, as well as shore-based courses for personnel, to ensure they are qualified to perform their respective jobs.
We practice a “blame free” culture and we aim for the highest degree of personal safety, with 0 (zero) accidents. We urge on board Ship´s Officers to report any deficiencies concerning security which would provide the company with the possibility to develop and raise the level of security and understanding.
Superintendents as well as Captains and Chief Engineers should always lead by example in safety matters
The Company guarantees that adequate resources and ground support will be provided for DPA, Superintendents, inspectors, technicians, and administrative personnel to perform their role at all levels of security. Supporting this; The Company will prepare annual maintenance budgets, where the security equipment and the maintenance of the security equipment will be subdivided. All budgets are confidential but are available to higher ranking officers.
Recognizing the exposure to hazards, the Company is always committed to have life, sickness and disability insurance coverage for all personnel.
