QHSE is our top priority
Our business success depends on continuous improvement to protect people and the environment while enhancing customer satisfaction. We place a huge emphasis on ensuring health, operational safety, environmental protection and quality enhancement. This commitment is in the best interests of our employees, the communities in which we live and work, and our customers.
As part of our commitment, we have a clear vision of excellence in QHSE and the levers of change that embed and enhance the awareness, knowledge, ability and reinforcement necessary to continue a culture of continuous improvement across our organisation.
Our QHSE vision – a culture that is fair, built on a foundation of trust and respect underpinned by collaborative effort.
There are five key elements in our QHSE strategy:
1) Ensuring that people feel cared for and safe
Maintaining a work environment where our people are encouraged to be proactive and vocal about QHSE is crucial to us. There are two distinct, but closely related aspects of how our staff perceive their workplace with respect to QHSE. Due to the foundations we have put in place and continuous improvement learnings they feel the organisation prioritizes a safe working environment for all the activities they undertake, and the second is that they feel they can speak up about any QHSE issues that are a cause for concern.
2) Learn, coach and improve
We use identified QHSE issues as an opportunity for learning and improvement and have created an environment where we welcome reporting and feedback as it allows us to enhance and optimise our QHSE performance
3) Giving individuals power and accountability
Every Acteon employee has the authority to stop, without fear of retribution, any task that they believe presents a QHSE risk. Empowering individuals in this way requires them to have the full support of the broader Acteon and senior leadership teams in doing the right thing. Empowerment and accountability are built on mutual trust and respect.
4) Establishing and maintaining consistent risk control
All lives are valued equally, and Acteon is committed to applying appropriate QHSE standards and performance on a global basis. This commitment to excellence covers all areas of operation and ensures that standards are applied consistently across all the countries where we operate.
5) Demonstrating through our leadership that safety comes first
Safety will always be the top priority in all situations and our leaders demonstrate this to the workforce through their words and actions. Acteon employees and contractors acknowledge and accept that work tasks must be performed safely and in full alignment with relevant company guidelines, and legal and regulatory frameworks.
Our approach
We provide specialist services and innovative products to major contractors and operators. Our focus has always been on solving customers’ challenges by engineering the most efficient solution. A key aspect of this is our ability to lower the operational footprint of a project, without compromising on quality, by applying domain expertise and value engineering methods to remove unnecessary equipment or resources; our focus is to be asset light.
