to upholding the most exacting
QHSSE standards, often exceeding
industry benchmarks in our efforts
to enhance systems and processes
that will ensure successful project
execution and delivery. Our clients
know they can count on us to safely
expedite their projects, even in the
most demanding environments.
Over the years, we have succeeded
in keeping our crews safe and
lost man-hours to a minimum by
continually reviewing our systems
and by adopting not only the
latest technological advances but
also research-proven intervention
strategies that are able to nip issues
in the bud. In rolling out these
initiatives, we never target front-line
workers alone and, as a result, we are
steadily forging an enduring safety
partnership that extends across the
Group at all levels, winning critical
support from both management and
staff, on land and at sea.

skilfully manage risks wherever they

to advancing safety initiatives.
Every month, top management,
department heads and senior
managers review all QHSSE policies,
procedures and systems, seeking to
pinpoint and eliminate any issues.

For 2015, we plan to keep raising the
bar and consolidating our position
as a key industry player through our
dedication to excellence in both
service and safety.
One of the initiatives includes
strengthening our existing safety
systems by embracing a behaviour-

what is already being done to minimise
delays or accidents. Moreover, we have
in place the pocket-sized Behaviour-
Based Card and Personal Safety Toolkit
for our seafarers to reinforce the safety
policies and systems we have in place
in our Group.

everyone. This initiative will include
communicating industry best practices
at every turn, arming our people
with the latest information on proven
strategies that can help them avoid
pitfalls and prevent recurrences.
In another crucial step on our safety
agenda, a training manager will
be recruited to develop a robust
programme aimed at boosting
safety awareness among all staff and
seafarers, preparing them to take an
even more proactive role in achieving
QHSSE goals. A major imperative will
be equipping them with the skills and
mindset to take immediate action to
minimise or even rule out any risk of
personal injury or damage to property,
equipment and the environment.
On a sector-wide level, the Group
will work with industry organisations
such as the International Marine
Contractors Association (IMCA) to
raise benchmarks, cultivate superior
practices, and endorse the most
rigorous health and safety standards.
