The Board of NoviTechGroup attaches great importance to the management of QHSE. QHSE System is seen as an absolute priority in all operations. The main objective of the system is to build safety awareness among staff. The system is also developing skills of observation and communication of potential risks during the occurrence of adverse events.
We are guided by one simple principle: people first “The people who work for us, the people who work with us, and the people around us” We take our responsibilities seriously, and our HSE policies provide a clear set of high standards that apply to all our facilities worldwide. Novitech’s “Life-Saving Rules” actively promote safe behavior to ensure the safety of people involved in our operations.
Personal Safety Always on
We are always asking questions. What have we learned today? How can we improve our operations? How can we further ensure safety? Our people are positively encouraged to speak up. Our motto: make sure everyone goes home safe.
Focus on the future
We are strongly committed to promoting and providing a safe work environment for all of our team. We continue to implement industry best practices through personal and corporate awareness, on-the-job training, and technical modifications to any and all equipment, which result in a safer workplace. This is detailed in the Safety Strategy.
Learn from Past
Of course, we learn from past information, but we also focus on “leading indicators” which means we focus on prevention and improvement. We measure everything, every day, at every terminal. That’s how we improve our standards and create international best practices.
Constantly measuring means
Constantly improving the performance of our safety program; a team of management and operators carry out regular Safety Observation Rounds. They are trained to identify where improvements can be made. Their findings are logged, assessed, and acted upon.
We encourage our people to report near misses because that increases the chance of avoiding incidents in the future. We treat a near miss as an actual incident, identifying the root cause to ensure that it never occurs again. We measure everything, every day, at every terminal. That’s how we improve our standards and create international best practices.
Novitech Group considers the effective management of safety, training, and the environment to be an integral part of our business. Our Company Management Plan provides an overview of strategies to be used by Novitech Group to demonstrate and fulfill our commitment to managing all safety, training, and environmental issues throughout our operations.
