HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Ithaca Energy (UK) LTD. is committed to achieving excellence in Health, Safety and Environmental (HS&E) performance across all of our operations. We consider our HS&E performance and the health, safety and security of those who work for, with and alongside us as central to our business success.
Ithaca recognises its obligations to comply with applicable legislation and guidance.
In order to meet our commitment Ithaca will:
- Provide the resources necessary to implement this policy and to develop and maintain our HS&E systems.
- Provide effective leadership, training and coaching to sustain and develop workforce HS&E competency and skills and maintain a positive HS&E culture.
- Define clear responsibilities and accountabilities for HS&E issues within the company.
- Communicate our policy, responsibilities and performance to those who work for, with and alongside us.
- Set realistic HS&E objectives and targets and develop action plans to measure these as a contribution towards continual improvement of our HS&E performance.
- Ensure HS&E performance is prominent in the selection of our associates and contractors.
- Assess and manage operations through all stages to minimise risk of harm to people, the environment and facilities.
- Communicate and consult with stakeholders and the public and have regard for their interests when planning activities.
- Ensure that appropriate plans and resources are in place to respond to incidents and emergencies.
- Investigate incidents, implement recommendations to prevent re-occurrence and share lessons learned.
To support our commitment to HS&E performance Ithaca will develop and maintain effective HS&E systems which will be independently verified against relevant ISO and other recognised standards. HS&E systems will be subject to periodic auditing and management review to ensure ongoing compliance and improvement.
This policy applies to all company activities and Ithaca employees, and contractors and other associates engaged in work on our behalf, have a responsibility to comply with it and prevent harm to themselves and others and damage to the environment.
