HSE commitment

Orascom Construction Industries is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace and ensuring that our business activities are conducted in a manner that protects the environment. We believe that the health and safety of our employees, subcontractors and suppliers as well as responsible stewardship of the environment are essential to the successful conduct and future growth of our business and are in the best interest of our shareholders.

Our corporate Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) policy is based on the following principles:

  • Identification and evaluation of all HSE hazards or aspects and the management of their risks or impacts to acceptable levels
  • Compliance with all applicable HSE legislation
  • Prevention of accidents, injuries and pollution
  • Intolerance of the conditions and behaviours that contribute to incidents or injuries
  • Reduction of waste and conservation or resources
  • Recording and communicating HSE performance throughout the company
  • Continual improvement of HSE performance

The chief executive officer and senior management shall visibly uphold these principles and the management and supervisory personnel at each business unit and location shall be responsible for implementing and maintaining an HSE management system necessary to ensure compliance with these principles.

Orascom Construction Industries is committed to educate and train each employee in safe work practices and will provide supplies, tools, equipment, and to the maximum extent, a hazard-free environment to ensure all tasks can be safely completed. No person shall be required or instructed to work in surroundings or under conditions that are unsafe or dangerous to his or her health. Each individual employed must take responsibility to become aware of the hazards associated with their workplace and tasks they are to perform. Each worker is responsible to complying with applicable safety requirements, wearing prescribed safety equipment, and preventing avoidable accidents. Each employee has a duty to report workplace conditions or practices that pose a safety hazard or threaten the environment and to take reasonable actions to alleviate such risks.
