Policies & Certifications
For us, it's about sending each of our team members home every day to their friends and family.
Our work can be dangerous but our rigorous training, constant onsite audits, inspections and communication have allowed us to maintain a lost time injury record that would be the envy of many companies. At Hitech Industrial Services we value the equipment that serves our clients and the people at the other end of our equipment are skilled individuals that we really need to be with us on the safety journey - it's that simple and that important.
Health, safety, environment and quality
Hitech has been operating in an industry that has the potential for high risk since 1991. A standard behavioural safety programme for Hitech involves:
- identifying key safe and unsafe behaviours
- measuring the frequency of these behaviours
- setting improvement objectives
- giving employees feedback on the results of the measurements.
Operationally Hitech undertakes unannounced site audits/visits, a range of checklists and toolbox talks as well as the commitment to frontline communication and ownership for reporting and if necessary stopping when they believe that they are being exposed or aware of unsafe acts.
