COMPLIANCE & QHSE POLICIES

COMPLIANCE & QHSE POLICIES

COMPLIANCE

The ALS Alliance complies with both the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and the UK Bribery Act of 2010, as amended and all applicable anti-corruption laws, both domestically and internationally. Our Policy sets the expectation and requirements for compliance with those laws. For purposes of this policy, “bribery” is defined in both the traditional sense of “offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of something of value for the purpose of influencing the action of an official in the discharge of his or her defined public or legal duties” and the expanded sense of responsibilities. We also comply with all applicable local and international standards and legislation in the performance of our services.

QHSE COMMITMENT

Safety is our number one core value and we are uncompromising in our commitment to our Quality Health, Safety and Environment Policy.

 

Each employee at ALS is empowered and expected to demonstrate a pro-active attitude and approach towards ensuring that reasonable care is taken for one’s own health and safety, as well as that of our fellow employees, subcontractors, customers and visitors. We require individual accountability, and expect all employees to adhere to our safety standards, and actively participate in and support the advancement of our health and safety practices.

Safety is the responsibility of all employees, including top management. Everyone is responsible for achieving zero harm, resulting in a SAFE day, every day!

It is the policy of ALS to:

  • Maintain a safe and healthy workplace for all employees in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations
  • Have the full participation of all employees in fulfilling their legal and moral obligations and responsibilities
  • Assure compliance with all ALS safety, health and environment programmes and practices
  • Promote a positive attitude towards safety, thereby establishing a culture where there is a proactive attitude towards prevention of health risks, incidents and losses
  • Utilise equipment, personal protective equipment and safety items in the manner for which they were intended
  • Fully inform employees with respect to health and safety risks attached to their tasks
  • Commit appropriate and sufficient resources to protect and support company safety efforts
  • Ensure that each employee understands that they have an obligation to stop a job or task to prevent an unsafe incident from occurring
  • Provide training to our employees to better educate them how to comply with those policies as well as promote a culture of continuous improvement and commitment to safety
  • Regularly review and evaluate safety, health and environment programmes, procedures and practices to assure that they are effective and up to date
  • Assure timely and thorough reporting and investigation of all incidents including the identification of causal factors and the establishment of effective corrective actions

ETHICS, CODE OF CONDUCT & ANTI-BRIBERY & CORRUPTION

Recognising that our public reputation is one of our most important assets, ALS aims to be known and respected for its integrity and ethics by consistently acting, whether internally or externally, according to the highest ethical business standards. We recognise our obligations to all our stakeholders – particularly shareholders, clients, employees, business partners and the authorities. Maintaining the trust and confidence of all our stakeholders is the responsibility of every employee, director and contractor acting on our behalf.

ALS prohibits bribery and corruption in any form, whether direct or indirect, and is committed to the prevention of bribery and corruption through the implementation of its Anti-Bribery and Corruption policy.

ALS has developed this policy in order to facilitate the observance of all anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, regulations, and/or policies of the countries in which it operates, as well as all other jurisdictions where ALS conducts business.

Our shared values define what we stand for and determine our actions and behaviour at ALS. In simple terms, it is about ‘doing the right thing”. Our Ethics, Code of Conduct and Anti-Bribery and corruption policy is built on these values.
