Wolf Health & Safety
Wolf is reviewing and refining its SHEQ Policy in line with the planned and imminent ISO9001/2015 accreditation.
Our Envionmental, Health & Safety Policy
Wolf is committed to providing a safe, healthful workplace, protecting out environment, conserving energy and natural resources. With these policies in place we believe that we can achieve a healthy, safe and pleasant working environment. We are committed to do and will:
- Provide a workplace free of recognized hazards and maintain healthy working conditions for all company employees.
- Be an environmentally responsible member of the community where we operate, and proactively address incidents that negatively impact our health, safety, or the environment.
- Develop and improve operations and technologies to minimize waste, and other pollution, minimize health and safety risks, and dispose of waste safely and responsibly.
- Complying with regulations and be committed to continual improvement of our management practices.
- Establish procedures to ensure all that employees are knowledgeable of, understand and comply with all applicable health & safety and environmental laws and regulations.
- Promptly correct any practice or condition not in compliance with this policy.
Our Philosophy on Safety
It´s as simple as this. If you care about the delivery of quality products, delivered within time the frames promised, reliably and consistently, then you´d be a fool not to care about health and safety. But more importunately, Wolf is its people, enough said!
Management Leadership & Employee Participation
Management leadership and effective employee participation are vital for the success of our organisation and the morning huddles and team meetings place an emphasis on safety and awareness of hazards and the recognition of risk.
Planning
Planning is essential in identifying OHSMS issues such as hazards, risks, management system deficiencies and opportunities for improvement.
Implementation and Operation
The Wolf OHSMS pursues the objectives and agreed actions from the planning process through its main operational elements, namely:
- Hierarchy of Controls
- Design Review
- Management of Change
- Procurement
- Contractors
- Emergency Preparedness and Response
- Competence and Training
- Communication
- Document, Data and Record Control
- Evaluation, Preventative and Corrective Action
We make on-going evaluations of performance through monitoring, measurement, assessment, audits, accident/incident investigations, and analysis. Preventative action is taken when opportunities for improvement are identified. Corrective Action is taken when non-conformance issues and Standard Operation Procedures failings are identified.
Management Review
Reviews are carried out by management who have the authority to make decisions about necessary actions and resources. We ensure that the necessary information is available for the team to evaluate the continuing suitability and effectiveness of the Wolf OHSMS.
