HSE Policy Central to Producing Quality Product
Walvis
Bay – Etosha Fishing is committed to managing
health, safety, quality and the environment (HSE) as an integral part of
business and this forms one of the foundations of our vision to produce a
quality product.
Human
values and safety
The health and well-being of our employees
are of prime importance. We believe that all workplace injuries, occupational
illnesses and environmental incidents are preventable and will therefore never
compromise HSE and quality standards and procedures in the quest for other
business priorities.
Compliance
We will comply applicable laws and regulations in Namibia, international
standards, Group policies and guidelines, as well as our own objectives and
targets. Where national laws and regulations are silent in catering for our
specific needs, international best practice appropriate to the local situation
will be applied while assistance will be given to the formulation of new
legislation.
Risk
management
We will employ management systems specifically designed to prevent
pollution, activities and/or conditions that pose a threat to human health,
safety or the environment. We will minimize risk and protect our employees and
the communities in which we operate by employing safe technologies and
operation procedures, as well as being prepared for emergencies. We will ensure
that the HSE issues are integrated into the design phases of new developments.
Communication
We will engage in constructive dialogue with all our stakeholders to
share information and hear their concerns and expectations with respect to HSE
and quality issues of our new projects’ ongoing operations. Further to this, we
will continue in our efforts to raise the awareness of HSE and quality issues
of interest to our host communities.
Continues
improvement
We will seek improvement
by continually assessing the Company’s HSE and quality performance against set
objectives and regularly reviewed targets.
