At AYAS Group our aim is to create a proactive safety culture in which employees believe that all injuries and occupational illness are foreseeable and preventable and act in a manner that demonstrates their personal commitment to this aim. We want every employee to be passionate about keeping people safe with no-one ever walking by an unsafe condition or observing an unsafe act without doing something about it.
We also understand how our business can affect the environment both locally and globally and we therefore:
- Assess our environmental impacts
- Apply control measures to prevent pollution
- Manage waste
- Control materials usage
- Reduce energy and water usage
It is the policy of SEL to conduct all business activities in a responsible manner by:
- Identifying and managing risks;
- Respecting the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees, client’s employees and others wherever we operate;
- Complying with all applicable health, safety and environmental legislation and EHS procedures at the sites where we operate;
- Ensuring that our employees have the right tools and equipment to be able to work safely;
- Carrying out regular audits of all our operations to ensure that high standards are maintained;
- Committing ourselves to continuous improvement in our occupational health, safety and environmental management systems and programmes.
