Equatorial Tide is committed to incident free business environment (office, voyage and project site). We go the extra distance to provide a safe environment to those involved in or affected by our activities. We are committed to achieving high standards of HSEQ and we firmly believe that the safer we work, and the higher quality standards we set, the more productive we will be, to the benefit of all stakeholders. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and aware of the adverse effects that certain business practices can have, it is essential to understand the importance of Health, Safety, Quality and Environment (HSEQ) management.
Everyone has a responsibility to Company's HSEQ targets. However, line managers are responsible and accountable for ensuring compliance with all health, safety, environment and quality (HSEQ) policies and procedures. In our usual manner, we will continually provide updates on Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality (HSEQ) issues with our stakeholders and keep them informed about our experience and knowledge of successful initiatives and associated business impact.
We aim for an incident free workplace every day, everywhere and each year we set targets to drive our performance toward this.
Through the application of our Risk Assessment process, we establish collaborative engagements with our stakeholders to identify, assess, monitor, manage and prevent foreseeable Health, Safety, Security, Environmental and Quality risks in connection with our activities.
In compliance with global HSEQ requirements we provide bespoke competency training and development, this always includes HSEQ training. It is the responsibility of the Heads of Units and Line Managers to ensure suitable training is provided in conjunction with individual competency evaluation in line with company policy. At Equatorial Tide, we drive Leading Safety Training to ensure that our employees and stakeholders return safely to their families after each day. We have designed internal programs which deliver specific training and coaching to Business Leaders, and to all of our line heads in order to align everyone and maximize productivity.
We have deployed systems to monitor and track trends in HSEQ performance including, KPI targets, incidents, near misses, high potential events, causal analysis, non-conformances, audits, assessments, supplier performance in all our operations.
We keep the safety of our people as the primary objective by ensuring that all our onshore and offshore project sites are designed and set-out in compliance with regional legislation, international and industry standards, class and flag state.
Our HSEQ reporting system tracks and manages incidents, near misses and LTIs involving our third parties. Data captured in the above, supported with audits, inspections, quality failures and non conformities enable us to work with our third parties to improve overall performance.
Our system is designed to reduce to ther barest minimum, the likelihood of emergencies occurring and minimizing the associated severity whenever it occurs. Prevention is our priority, however, adequate planning and preparedness to respond to emergency incidents is our proactive option. Equatorial Tide project sites are mandated to implement appropriate response plan in the event of forseable emergencies. We have deployed virtual software packages with dedicated teams to support our operations in different terrains.
We have deployed robust security measures to cover our operations with the sole objective of ensuring a safe working environment for our staff and other stakeholders.
We adopted flexible working arrangements (virtual, flexible hours etc.) to promote a work-life balance to minimise the negative effects on the lives of our workforce. Furthermore, we created internal health programs to support an affectionate work environment.
