Premier Power Ltd believes that health, safety and the environment are an integral part of the company's performance and a prime responsibility of management at all levels.
The company's Health, Safety & Environmental Policy sets out its obligation to employees and others involved in or affected by its operation.
Premier Power Ltd also participates in the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). The first step of the process was to carry out a review of our operations, to determine how we comply with environmental legislation and good practices. The next step is to identify, and determine the significance of, what are known as our "environmental impacts" and to compile a register. From this we will determine what we need to do to achieve improvement.
HSE Policy
Outstanding business performance requires outstanding HSE performance. This means the protection of the health and safety of our people and of those affected by our business, the protection of our physical assets and reputation and the protection of the environment.
We believe that all injuries to people are preventable. Our goal is zero injuries. We conduct our business in a responsible manner and go beyond compliance with local regulation to meet internationally accepted good practice in health, safety and environmental protection.
We recognise that HSE is everyone’s responsibility and that we each have a duty to intervene to prevent unsafe actions and to reinforce good behaviours. The safe delivery of projects and operation of facilities is a critical success factor – it is not just the end result that matters, we care about how we get there.
We aim to be an industry leader in HSE performance.
We will:
·Ensure that all management decisions reflect our HSE intentions;
·Ensure all employees understand their HSE accountabilities and demonstrate visible HSE leadership;
·Ensure that our HSE management system’s reflect best industry practice and are properly resourced. We will continually improve by ensuring that lessons are always learned;
·Provide direction, education, training and supervision to ensure that all employees understand the required behaviours and the consequences of non-compliance. Good HSE performance is essential for career advancement;
·Ensure that our contractors understand their HSE accountabilities and required behaviours, share our aspirations and are aware of the consequences of non-compliance. We will learn continually from each other’s experiences;
·Work with our partners to achieve internationally accepted good practice in HSE and learn continually from each other’s experiences;
·Adopt a risk-based approach to the design, construction and operation of facilities across their full life cycle;
·Take account of stakeholder HSE concerns through involving and consulting with employees and their representatives, communities where we operate, government authorities, customers and shareholders;
·Continually improve our HSE performance so that work related ill health and incidents are reduced and so that environmental emissions, waste and the use of energy are reduced relative to activity;
·Comply with this Policy and drive HSE improvements by setting expectations and objectives and reviewing, monitoring and auditing performance;
·Publicly report on key HSE objectives and performance, fully co-operate with relevant government agencies and work with the industry to improve HSE practices;
