SHE POLICY STATEMENT
AKOM Survey Services Limited will seek to conduct its operations in such a way as to avoid harm to its employees, third party who may be affected directly or indirectly by its activities and to maintain the highest practical standards of safety, occupational health and protection of the environment.
AKOM Survey Services Limited have set the following objectives with respect to Safety, Health and the Environment:
Employees have a responsibility to co-operate with and do their best to achieve these standards, and exercise a high level of awareness and self-discipline to prevent injury to themselves or others and prevent damage to the environment.
In this regard, all requirements and instructions relating to the application and implementation of this policy and associated procedures are to be regarded as mandatory for the safety and well being of all concerned.
Non compliance of these policies and procedures may be regarded as gross misconduct and could result in disciplinary action being taken.
An important aspect of our operation is the issue of community relation. At AKOM Survey Services Limited, we place high premium on strict observance of SHE regulations as part of our total quality assurance plan. Before any operation, we always make the establishment of a good working relationship with the host communities part of the first steps in this connection, the head of the technical crew is mandated to visit the relevant people and secure the necessary consent. Along this line we always create opportunities for the employment of local labor and facilities. Not only this, we make provision for the development of community–based projects such as building of town hall, health centre, market stalls and roads depending on the nature and size of our operations in the area. We liaise with the heads of each community and the youth groups.
It is our belief that no meaningful work can be carried out in an atmosphere of fear and violence hence adequate priority is given to security of all staff, equipment and the entire work environment. In addition to the security measures detailed in our SHE plan, we make provision for the engagement of security personnel to provide a safe surrounding for our work. Also, each of our staff is encouraged to be security conscious and observe all safety rules as spelt out in our SHE.
At AKOM Survey Services Limited, our labour force is our strength. We therefore, as a matter of policy, create a good working relationship with labour. We always pay adequate attention to staff welfare as detailed in our SHE manual. Each staff is made to know he/she is a stakeholder in what we do. There are avenues for channeling grievances and each matter raised by our staff is treated with the utmost seriousness in line with our overall company objective and interest. It is our belief that labour disputes should be settled before they occur to avoid job delay.
