Health and Safety

Health and safety are central to our work at A2SEA. Our safety management systems follow the ISM code set out by the International Maritime Organization and the requirements in OHSAS 18001:2008 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. Our safety management systems are certified by DNV. These systems describe and define all aspects of our safety policy on board our vessels and at our head office in Fredericia, Denmark.

 

Prior to access to our vessels all staff, contractors and visitors are subject to these standards and go through an introduction course with our safety officers or site managers.

 

Our SEA HEALTH program covers workplace assessment and instruction for all routine jobs at sea and is followed by suppliers, crew and contractors when on board our vessels. At our head office work place assessments are made on a regular basis and project specific risk assessments are made throughout our projects.

 

We maintain a strict policy on drugs and alcohol and their use and possession on board vessels is strictly forbidden. Random checks are regularly carried out to ensure adherence to this policy.

 

To strengthen cooperation on health and safety our Safety Committee is formed by employee and management representatives from both vessels and office.

 

During 2011 and 2012 we run a comprehensive safety culture programme. The aim is to strengthen the awareness towards our own job safety – but very much also towards our colleagues’ and cooperation partners’ job safety as we want everybody to return safe home when working for A2SEA.
