Our Key Safety Programs
Think Safe. Act Safe. Be Safe.
This motto defines our safety culture and is brought to life through our 10 Lifesavers and 12 Laboratory Safety Rules. These non-negotiable principles guide our actions in the office, the field, and the laboratory, ensuring safety is always a priority.
LMRA – Last-Minute Risk Assessment
We empower our employees to identify and mitigate risks before starting any task. Our LMRA process fosters a proactive approach to workplace safety, preventing incidents and reinforcing our commitment to operational excellence across field and laboratory operations.
LSMS – Laboratory Safety Management System
Laboratories present unique safety challenges, which is why we have developed a specialized Laboratory Safety Management System (LSMS). As a dedicated part of our HSE Framework, LSMS ensures that our laboratory environments meet the highest safety standards and industry best practice.
