Committed To Well-being And Protection
Safety, Health, Environment & Quality
The SHEQ Policy aims to ensure alignment to the Kartix vision, values & convenants where ‘Dedication to Safety’ means ensuring that harm is not inflicted upon its employees, contractors, service providers, or the environment, Kartix assets, as well as members of the public affected by its operations, infrastructure & all operational activities within the scope of heavy lifting, special transport, assembly, disassembly & maintenance in industry and infrastructure.
Our management and all employees are committed to well-being & protection of human life, environmental duty of care, protection of assets and customer satisfaction by applying our Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle & our Code of Conduct in all activities.
Kartix has integrated safety, health,
environment and quality requirements into all activities; more specifically in the Kartix Project Management Procedure (KPMP) and care for preventive maintenance so that decisions made ensure the consideration of economic development, environmental quality and social equity to continually improve performance and achieve stakeholder requirements.
We will avoid harm to people and the environment while providing quality services to our customers.
Achieving compliance with applicable legislation and other requirements to which we subscribe and in the absence of these, setting internal standards to meet the intent of this policy.
Addressing The Needs & Expectations Of Customers & Stakeholders
Setting SHEQ Objectives, Goals & Measuring Our Performance (KPI’s) Against These With The Objective Of Continual Improvement
Periodical risk-based medical surveillance for all Kartix employees, to monitor and manage occupational health risks inherently present in the nature of our business.
SHEQ training and safety-based behavior training for all employees.
Ensuring that our suppliers and service suppliers meet and adhere to Kartix SHEQ requirements.
Promoting open communication with all stakeholders and sharing of our SHEQ knowledge.
Real accountability for all our managers and employees in performing and tracking our SHEQ goals and targets.
Design, construction and operation of our services in a safe, secure, efficient and environmentally responsible manner.
Policy Into Practice
In order to put this policy into practice & avoid incidents & accidents, the Kartix 10 Life Saving Saving Rules (LSR) are developed & implemented. All employees are expected to perform their job in accordance with this company philosophy & follow all applicable procedures & instructions including the Stop & Consult Procedure as a final Last-Minute Risk Assessment (LMRA) before commencement of work. Where necessary, the management will take measures by using our Consequence Management Procedure.
In addition to first using collective protection equipment, all employees have appropriate Work Wear & Personal Protection Equipment that meets the highest standards in accordance with local legislation. The Management team shows clear responsibility and commitment to verify the effectiveness of our integrated SHEQ Management system by completing workplace inspections on a regular basis.
The Kartix Management system is constantly improved by means of internal audits: local, cross & Group SHEQ & external audits. A unique Kartix Year Action Plan for each Business Unit is followed up in the monthly management meetings & an annual management review so that any necessary remedial & prevention measures can promptly be taken to improve performance and efficiency.
Now that we have provided the tools and procedures and have an ongoing review and improvement policy, our operators must use the tools and procedures made available to them and our Operations and General Management Teams must ensure that procedures are followed, tools used and actions taken.
