SAFETY APPROACH

Providing safe and healthy working conditions for our employees and minimizing the impact on the environment remains one of our top priorities. We fully understand and accept our responsibility for operating safely, creating a safe working environment for our employees and protecting the health of our stakeholders.

We follow the “Zero harm” principle in our operations, which is evidence of P&ES vision of achieving the objective of zero harm to people, zero impact to the environment and zero non-productive time. This principle fully reflects our philosophy of "setting the highest standard of business" and demonstrates our attitude and priorities in relation to employees, customers and society.

Our reliable management system, competence and loyalty to employees remain the key element of our success and the primary contributors to the zero harm performance.

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY

P&ES is convinced that the lives and health of its personnel are top priority and realizes its responsibility for operating safely and creating safe working conditions. We care about the health and safety of all people involved in our operations and projects - employees, suppliers, subcontractors, customers and those living in surrounding communities. We demonstrate with our work our commitment to occupational safety and full compliance with regulatory requirements. We always strive to implement new initiatives in this area to further reinforce this approach to health and occupational safety.

Now P&ES and its subsidiaries continue the implementation of organizational and technical measures to enhance safety and improve working conditions. A number of corporate programs were implemented in P&ES Group to minimize production and occupational risks within the framework of our obligations on industrial, occupational and environmental safety.

Safety awareness

The knowledge and skills of employees in the field of health and safety are highly important for the sustainability of our business. We arrange a process of compulsory training of all employees, including senior executives, and exercise rigorous control over it. This helps the company to develop the right approach to safety culture, implementation of visual programs on training, retraining and professional development with the aid of state-of-the-art materials, the application of a special training system for personnel working with hazardous equipment, and improvement of the quality of communication in the field of health and safety.

During the implementation of projects in our enterprises, a relevant safety plan is prepared at the initial stage. Before any important work commences, training is conducted for company employees and those of our contractors on key aspects and risks associated with the job. The company makes sure that work starts only after a detailed safety inspection has been completed.

Special assessment of working conditions

We attach more importance to creating and maintaining safe and decent working conditions for our employees than to technical and organizational issues.

In accordance with the national legislation and the measures P&ES and its subsidiaries are taking to improve working conditions of their employees every year, an assessment of working conditions is conducted to identify harmful and hazardous factors of the production process and measure their impact on employees.

According to the results, working conditions are classified and measures are taken to improve them. To reduce the harmful impacts of production on our employees, we provide them with quality personal protective equipment and boots, hearing and vision protection, skin cleansing and decontamination aids.

SAFETY MANAGEMENT, CONTROL AND MONITORING

We continuously improve and develop the operational performance of our management system to ensure compliance with the expectations of supervisory bodies and customers and our internal procedures on health, occupational safety and Environmental Protection. Our HSE management system is based on strict compliance with the Law on Occupational Safety and the requirements of local legislation and the Labor Code.

In order to provide a unified approach to HSE requirements we have developed HSE policy. This policy contains the key principles and approaches to ensure the sustainable development of the management system based on the experience and liabilities of our company. This policy is focused on the performance of all works without any occupational injury and accident regardless of complexity.

The international HSE management system has been successfully applied to align the operations of P&ES subsidiaries with contemporary requirements. As part of our overall management system, HSE has been adapted to the requirements of international standards, enabling the management of risks by prioritizing preventive measures to contain and eliminate the consequences of potential incidents.

Control over Health, Safety and Environment is exercised by senior management of P&ES, while the Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing the results of our safety initiatives and performance to ensure alignment with strategic goals.
