Pentru BrandSafway, protejarea sănătății, siguranței și mediului (SSM) este valoarea supremă. Este dreptul fundamental pe care îl datorăm angajaților și clienților noștri, precum și tuturor celor cu care interacționăm. Ne străduim să stabilim un standard în domeniul nostru, îmbunătățindu-ne în mod continuu performanța în sfera siguranței.
Construirea unui program eficient de garantare a securității se aseamănă cu construirea unei structuri solide; prin urmare, începe cu o fundație stabilă. În cadrul BrandSafway, fundația solidă este formată din procesele noastre de management al sănătății, siguranței și mediului sau cei cinci piloni ai siguranței. Pe acești piloni solizi și stabili ne-am construit performanța și cultura remarcabile în domeniul siguranței. Tot aceștia sunt cei care ne propulsează inițiativele strategice eficiente de asigurare a sănătății la nivel global.
Sistemul de intervenție a angajaților (SIA) dezvoltat de BrandSafway are rolul de a preveni accidentele înainte ca acestea să se producă. Bazat pe un comportament proactiv, SIA ajută la prevenirea luării unor decizii incorecte în procesul de recunoaștere și control al pericolelor. Acest sistem identifică potențialele pericole asociate cu mediul, proiectele și practicile de lucru, permițându-ne astfel să anticipăm și să prevenim accidentele prin instruirea angajaților în adoptarea comportamentelor corecte. Prin intermediul SIA, angajații sunt investiți cu autoritate și obligați să oprească lucrul ori de câte ori consideră că există o situație periculoasă. Acest program bazat pe intervenția angajaților ne permite să fim mereu cu un pas înainte în asigurarea securității printr-o îmbunătățire continuă.
Sistemul de observare între supervizori (SOS) întrebuințează observarea și evaluarea la același nivel pentru a încuraja asumarea proactivă a responsabilității, tragerea la răspundere și dezvoltarea unui spirit de conducere pozitiv la nivelul supervizorilor.
Evaluările siguranței de către management (ESM) ajută la implicarea managementului în dezvoltarea și promovarea spiritului de protejare a siguranței pe teren. Acest instrument interactiv este o parte integrantă a sistemului SSM din cadrul BrandSafway, prin care managerii completează observații din teren și încurajează o înțelegere detaliată a proceselor privind securitatea pe teren.
Gold Link Audit System dezvoltat de BrandSafway constă într-o evaluare internă detaliată și pe diferite niveluri a sistemului și proceselor de management al siguranței pe teren. Prin inspecții, interviuri și analizarea documentației, părților responsabile le sunt atribuite și delegate acțiuni, care sunt apoi monitorizate.
BrandSafway Learning Network (BSLN) este un sistem modern de management al instruirii bazat pe web, destinat instruirii privind asigurarea conformității, respectarea reglementărilor, activitățile specializate și dezvoltarea carierei. Prin intermediul BSLN, toți angajații din cadrul BrandSafway pot avea ușor acces la instruire și educație profesională.
La BrandSafway ne dedicăm dezvoltării unei culturi în care sănătatea, siguranța și mediul (SSM) sunt valori nucleu adoptate și practicate la toate nivelurile organizației. Angajamentul nostru față de SSM începe de sus, cu echipa noastră de conducere executivă și se reflectă în jos în întreaga organizație, incluzând toată rețeaua de companii, filiale, locații și șantiere de construcție. Asumarea proprietății, responsabilitatea personală și importanța respectării politicilor și procedurilor sunt aspecte comunicate cu consecvență în întreaga companie. Echipa noastră de conducere consideră că TOATE accidentele pot fi prevenite și că TOȚI angajații noștri sunt responsabili pentru protejarea sănătății, siguranței și mediului ‒ nu doar pentru ei înșiși, ci și pentru colegii, clienții și furnizorii lor de pe fiecare dintre șantierele noastre de construcții. Având aceste valori în centrul culturii noastre privind siguranța, recunoscute în domeniu, și datorită palmaresului nostru de premii câștigate pentru siguranță, BrandSafway este mai mult decât o companie cu un program de securitate excelent; BrandSafway este o companie sigură.
