HSSE

WaterLise has established certain basic HSE policies to outline broad standards of conduct in specific areas with high risk of company operations. Seniors and managers are responsible for implementing the more detailed procedures to ensure compliance of all personnel with these policies, however, all employees are responsible and trained.

The following topics are included in WaterLise HSE policy statements:

• Health and Safety Policy
• Drug and Alcohol Prohibition Policy
• Smoking Prohibition Policy
• Land transport Policy
• P.E. Policy
• Environmental Policy
• Training Policy

Every reasonable effort has been made to safeguard lives, prevent various types of accidents/catastrophes and implement the best environmentally well-known practices.

We follow ISO 14001(EMS): 2015 & ISO 9001:2015 & standards and we base our systems on PDCA (Plan, Do, Check & Action).

HSE defined targets are SMART: Specific, Measurable, achievable, realistic and time- bound.

The primary purpose of measuring health, safety and environment performance is to provide information on the progress and current status of the strategies, processes and activities used by WaterLise to control and mitigate HSE risks. Gathering such information is imperative to sustain reliable operations as it defines risk and we therefore understand the control of risk, by providing information on how the system operates in practice; identifying areas where remedial action is required; providing a basis for continual improvement; and providing feedback and motivation.

• HSE Culture:

WaterLise is committed to define and develop a strong HSE culture amongst each aspect of its operation. We will therefore assist and continue in educating, promoting, reporting, sharing, learning, and evaluating the overall safety performance of the business and creating an atmosphere to facilitate that.

We know that Safety Culture is a multi-dimensional construct. To capture the common and key-elements of the various leading safety culture frameworks, we focus, on the following elements:

Commitment and Leadership:

It reflects the extent to which each WaterLise member has a positive attitude towards safety values and recognizes its importance. Top management provides strong visible commitment, leadership and personal involvement in health, safety and the environment issues. Management makes available the resources necessary to achieve WaterLise HSE objectives.

Behavior Based Safety: 

WaterLise BBS is based on solid principles about all personnel engaging, motivating, assisting, reinforcing, and sustaining safe behaviors. It is an ongoing effort that the managers must continually promote for sustainable, positive results.

Unsafe Work Stop:

In supporting safe execution of work, all WaterLise personnel, have the following responsibilities:

• The responsibility and authority to initiate a Stop Work immediately, without fear of reprisal, when the employee believes a situation/act exists which places himself/herself, a coworker(s), or the environment in danger or at risk.
• The responsibility to report any activity or condition the employee believes is unsafe or for which they have initiated a Stop Work. There is a system in place to notify the affected party(s) and to the supervisor or their supervisor’s designee at the location where the activity or condition exist.

Employees Involvement: 

We believe involving employees has a positive effect on HSE performance. All employees in WaterLise have a key role to play and “involvement” is one of the HSE goals: specifically, to reinforce the promotion of worker involvement and consultation in safety matters. Vigorous meetings are placed every two weeks to outline HSE issues, give feedback, and provide training to our middle and top management.

Continuous Learning

Continuous Learning is the ability to apply strategies which support learning and the ability to adapt to change. We use this skill when we learn as part of regular work or from co-workers and when we access training in the workplace or off-site.

The aim of WaterLise Quality Assurance Policy is to affirm WaterLise’s commitment to maintain a high standard of quality in the way we work, the services we deliver, our relationships with staff and stakeholders and ensure continual improvement.

WaterLise’s QA policy is designed to eliminate deficiencies and inaccuracies and to ensure high quality standards. The assurance of quality is fundamental for all work undertaken by WaterLise and is adhered by all our staff in their work. To that effect WaterLise shall:

• Set concise policies, procedures and regulations to maintain quality consistency in our work methodology,
• Ensure that all policies, procedures, relevant regulations and codes of practice are implemented and systematically reviewed to reflect our values,
• Regularly monitor and measure the quality of work methods, outputs and outcomes in order to ensure high quality standards and obtain the best value for our customers via continuous improvement.

Quality Assurance Framework:

WaterLise QA framework follows the International Organization of Standards, ISO 14001(EMS): 2015 & ISO 9001:2015– Quality Management Systems. Our standards are based on the following eight quality management principles:

1. Customer focus
2. Leadership
3. Involvement of human resources
4. Process approach
5. System approach to management
6. Continual improvement
7. Fact based decision‐making
8. Mutually beneficial supplier relationships

Quality Assurance Methodology:

WaterLise QA employs the Plan‐Do‐Check‐Act (PDCA) methodology to apply the principles of the international standards framework.

PLAN: Establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with members’ and candidates’ requirements and the organization’s policies.

DO: Implement the processes.

CHECK: Monitor and measure processes and product against policies, objectives and requirements for the services/product and report the results.

ACT: Take actions to continually improve process performance

NCR System:

To ascertain quality, we are using the NCR (Non-Conformity Report) system systematically. In this system, any member of WaterLise can generate an NCR which is then recorded, processed, monitored and the conclusions are implemented to remedy the non-conformity.
