We believe that all cases of work-related ill health, injuries and incidents are preventable and it is our policy that all near misses, however minor, are reported. This is a higher standard than is normally applied in this industry.
The Prax Group policy on occupational safety, health, environment and process safety requires the active involvement of all employees to ensure that continuous efforts are made to maintain and improve our performance and recognise our obligations under applicable international, national and local legislation and management standards.
At all our plants and offices, we are committed to take all reasonable measures to identify the potential for accidents, eradicating that potential and thus maintaining our goal of zero harm.
Our ten Golden Rules underpin our PEAR goal. They set out what we should and should not do across our business, from high-risk situations to traffic to working at height. If we can’t follow these rules, work stops – we won’t deliver a litre of fuel unless we can. We make this very real for everyone in the Group by issuing Stop Cards to all employees. They give each of us the authority, with the backing of our SHEQ Manager, to immediately stop any task or work activity if there is a safety issue.
