SAFETY

Safety is one of our organization’s core values and a top priority in everything we undertake. Our No Injuries No Accidents (NINA) safety program reflects our objective of ensuring that our employees return from work safely each day. NINA aims to embed the desired safety culture in our organization and makes safety a fully integrated part of working behavior. The fve NINA values and fve rules have been specifcally developed to provide guidance to all employees, including those of subcontractors, both with regard to expected behavior and operational risk management. NINA makes employees aware of their own responsibility towards their safety and stimulates a working environment in which safety, responsibilities and potentially hazardous situations are openly discussed and reported. The NINA values and rules are not only about procedures, but mostly promote ownership and a safety-driven mindset. NINA has not only become an inextricable part of our culture, it has stimulated the way in which we work with each other: in open dialogue and collaboration to achieve operational excellence. Our clients too are increasingly embracing NINA as best practice and are enthusiastic to participate in our interactive NINA training.
