TGS is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for its employees, contractors and clients while protecting the environment in which it works. TGS is dedicated to the continuous improvement of health, safety and security standards for its people and insists on the same policy from its contractors.
The company has defined safe operating procedures in the Health, Safety and Environment Management System that are designed to meet or exceed all appropriate legal requirements and, in the absence of any defined standards, to meet or exceed generally-accepted industry-wide "best operating practices". The company will actively participate with all client/contractor associations and relevant authorities in developing standards and promoting the image of the industry.
A high level of safety awareness shall be maintained by means of safety meetings, internal auditing, review meetings and general communications. All employees are actively encouraged to participate in the conduct and management of safety by means of achieving defined objectives and standards, which are regularly reviewed and appraised.
TGS requires all employees and contractors to be accountable for and committed to their own health and safety as well as for those with whom they work. Line managers have the responsibility for the communication and implementation of TGS’ health and safety policies. Line managers shall also ensure that employees have the appropriate training to enable compliance with health and safety requirements.
To promote continuous improvement in workplace safety, all personnel are encouraged to propose opportunities for improvement by means of direct communication to the Director of Health, Safety and Environment.
This corporate policy is supplemented and enhanced by regional policies that address regional laws and regulations. This policy shall be regularly monitored by the Director of Health, Safety and Environment to ensure ongoing suitability.
