TAV Construction - Health Safety & Environment

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY INCORPORATES THE HIGHEST PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION

Since its inception, it has been the policy of all TAV Construction partners to conduct their activities in full compliance with all relevant legal requirements, as a minimum starting point, as well as to comply with all client demands in this regard.

TAV Construction is fully committed to making whatever effort is necessary in order to protect its employees and any other persons affected by its activities from work-related injuries and illnesses. Moreover, it always aims to prevent damage to its property or that of any third party. Beyond this and equally important, TAV Construction works hard to ensure that there is no environmental pollution as a consequence of its construction projects and company activities.

In keeping with these principles, TAV Construction’s Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) policy upholds the following:

Management commitment to HSE issues is highly visible at all levels

The principles of HSE will be introduced to all staff in order to increase their awareness, commitment and participation in this key corporate concept, which shall become a high priority among their individual work responsibilities.

In order to increase the awareness and competence of all staff in this area, official HSE training activities shall be provided at all levels throughout the organization.

In consideration of the diversity of HSE-related activities and all corresponding potential hazards, construction procedures for each project shall include specific HSE-friendly measures. Furthermore, an HSE manual will be prepared using beneficial information gained from in-house experience, plus other useful know-how gleaned from the general field of HSE and the construction industry.

In every construction scenario, all conceivable HSE hazards will be considered and preventive measures will be taken. Beyond this, contingency procedures will be drawn up to minimize the damage of any possible accidents.

Any accident will be immediately and thoroughly investigated and analyzed to determine the specific causes and determine any weaknesses in HSE management for the purpose of drawing up and implementing measures to prevent any possible reoccurrence.
