Health, Safety, Security & Environment (HSSE)
PRODUCTION COOPERATIVE “SINTEZOIL” Policy is a statement of intent: a set of beliefs, standards, and actions aimed at achieving world-class levels of personal and environmental safety.
PRODUCTION COOPERATIVE “SINTEZOIL” maintains the highest standards of safety appropriate to its type of business. Handling large amounts of oils and fats requires a clean and safe working environment and safe working methods.
We constantly strive to achieve the highest level of performance in regard to health and safety in all aspects of our business and operations. This corporate responsibility is a reflection of our core commitment to put safety before all else. To achieve world-class performance, we promote solutions that minimize risk and ensure the safety and health of our employees and the communities we serve. We view safety as a fundamental responsibility and top priority of every person employed by our company; We lead, train, and equip employees to anticipate hazards and risks in order to avoid injuries and accidents.
Health, Safety, Security & Environment (HSSE)
Safeguarding health, safety, security, and environmental protection is a priority for us.
In our HSSE Policy, we commit to preventing all accidents, injuries, and occupational illness, and to protecting the environment. We therefore continually optimize all of our subsidiaries’ activities with a view to technical, organizational, and behavior-based safety and promote a proactive safety culture.
The corporate Health, Safety, Security & Environment (HSSE) Department in Hamburg develops guidelines and minimum requirements for all subsidiaries. Targets are set and the performance is benchmarked to achieve continuous improvement.
One significant measure is the creation of comprehensive HSSE manuals that are specifically tailored to the respective operating units – and based on which the sites develop appropriate local management systems.
A central tool for learning from incidents is a global incident database. To prevent incidents and their reoccurrence, all accidents, incidents, near misses, and unsafe acts and conditions are logged and systematically analyzed. If necessary, HSSE alerts are created, distributed to the relevant sites, and discussed with our employees.
To monitor compliance with our internal standards, internal HSSE audits are performed and detailed HSSE statistics with “leading” (forward-looking) and “lagging” (retrospective) KPIs are analyzed.
A further central point of our effort to conduct our business activities in a safe, healthy, and environment-friendly manner is the training and education of our employees. New employees as well as contractors and visitors are instructed in matters of HSSE before taking up their work or their visit.
