Responsibility and accountability
While the Aveng Group holds its leaders accountable for the safety of its people and expect its managers and supervisors to provide effective leadership in safety, the group equally expects all individuals to be responsible for their own health and safety and those around them commensurate with their level of authority and sphere of inluence. The management of each operating group is responsible for the full implementation of safety management systems. This requires the allocation of appropriate resources and the provision of training, education, consultation, audits and monitoring to ensure legal compliance and the achievement of a world-class safety culture.
The Aveng Group's ongoing focus on improving safety at its operations not only safeguards its licence to operate, but also strengthens its position as a socially responsible employer and business partner.
The value the group places on the safety of employees, subcontractors, partners and any visitors to its sites is relected in the safety vision, "Home Without Harm Everyone Everyday".
