  • Planning & risk analysis identifies opportunities to eliminate hazards, and to reduce risks and adverse impacts.
  • Competence, communication & support: We will provide training, information and support to ensure good participation and consultation of colleagues for ideas and effectiveness of our programs.
  • Operations specify adequate risk controls and manage change.
  • Monitoring & measurement assesses the status of operations and objectives and drives priorities and performance.
