The Company acknowledges the environmental implications of its activities and will cause the operations to be carried out in such a manner as to ensure a high standard of Health, Safety and Environmental care.

In order to meet its commitment, the Company will define the responsibilities of all its employees in respect of Health, Safety and Environmental Protection Processes. At tender, contract award and purchasing, all aspects of environmental implications are taken into consideration. Prior to commencement of Contract, assessments are completed which reflect not only the hazards/risks and precautions required in order to protect against those risks but also the environment in which the works are taking place.
