VARD aims to maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards lapses in workplace safety through comprehensive health, safety and environmental (“HSE”) efforts.
We believe that all accidents can and should be avoided, whether it’s personal injury, damage to property, or harm to the environment. We work continuously to raise awareness about, and improve, our performance in HSE-related matters.
Our facilities and operations are governed by local laws and regulations related to worker’s health and safety at the workplace. Appropriate precautions are taken to protect employees and others from workplace injuries and harmful exposures to materials that are handled and managed at our facilities.
Our yards have established on-site clinics together with local hospitals, and implemented a voluntary medical insurance programme, in order to help employees recover quicker from personal injuries and maintain a good health condition.
Recently, we have implemented a common reporting system, known as “Synergi“, which encourages our employees to report their observations of any potential safety hazards for prevention purposes as well as other relevant HSE issues.
