HSE Policy
TNGCL believes that outstanding business performance requires outstanding HSE performance in the protection of the health and safety of our people, those affected by our operations, our physical assets, our reputation and the environment. Our Goal is zero injuries because we believe they are all preventable. We conduct our business in a responsible manner and adhere to internationally accepted good practices. HSE performance is everyone’s responsibility and we each have a duty to intervene to prevent unsafe actions and to reinforce good behavior through demonstrating HSE leadership. Safety in all our operations is a critical success factor for our business.
In implementing this policy we will ensure that:
- Management decisions reflect our HSE intentions.
