It’s just the way we work
We believe in safeguarding people, property, and the environment with a robust Health, Safety, Security, Environment (HSSE) program that involves every aspect of our work. Our goal is to ensure that our employees, clients, and subcontractors make it home safely – every day.
HSSE is ingrained in every facet of our operations. We are committed to ensuring the health, safety, and security of our employees, subcontractors, and our clients. We have built a work culture that capitalizes on job expertise, maximizes positive reinforcement, and involves every member of the GES team – including our subcontractors. Our HSSE programs have been refined and improved over four decades working on environmental project sites in the field. We provide the tools, continuous mandatory training and a mature safety culture that allow our teams to execute work safely and intervene or stop work when necessary.:
- Look out for each other
- Speak out when we see something wrong
- Stop work if we need to
- Engage managers, supervisors, and staff in on-site observations and discussions
- Integrate LPS and HSSE in every facet of our work
- Celebrate safety and fight complacency
Loss Prevention System
GES uses the Loss Prevention System (LPS) behavior-based management approach to anticipate, minimize, and manage the risks inherent in our work. This approach is embedded within the fabric of our HSSE program and is a requirement of our entire workforce, including subcontractors. Our staff and subcontractors trust in GES’ corporate commitment to their safety. This is a contributing factor to their success.
