HEALTH & SAFETY
SAFETY
Our first priority is that every one of us and our workmates return home safely every day.
We continuously improve our risk management systems and encourage compliance with them across the workforce. It means constantly looking for safer ways of doing things, identifying hazards and taking the responsibility to fix them. It means looking after ourselves and each other by being alert and aware.
The responsibility for safety is shared by you, Sojitz’s management and every person who walks onto one of our sites. This policy explains our accountabilities, responsibilities and commitment to working safely.
