HSEC Management Standards
Our HSEC Management Standards, which were introduced in 1999, were developed to ensure consistent interpretation and implementation of the HSEC Policy. These standards form the basis for the development and application of HSEC management systems at all levels of the Company.
The Standards cover all operational aspects and activities that have the potential to impact, positively or negatively on the health and safety of people, the environment and the community.
The objectives of the Standards are to:
- Provide a risk-based HSEC management system framework, broadly consistent with ISO 14001, OHSAS 18000, SA 8000 and other internationally recognised standards that support the implementation of Our Bond and the HSEC Policy across the Company;
- Set out and formalise Company expectations for the progressive development and implementation of more specific and detailed HSEC management systems at all levels of the Company;
- Provide auditable criteria against which HSEC management systems across the Company can be measured; and
- Provide a basis from which to drive continuous improvement towards leading industry practice.
The Standards apply to all BlueScope Steel sites and operations throughout the world and also apply to major activities by contractors on our sites and under our management.
Where we have no operational responsibility but do have an equity stake or where significant BlueScope Steel assets are involved, the Standards are made available to the operator so that comparable HSEC Standards can be applied.
Each HSEC Management Standard includes a set of clear performance requirements. Performance to the Standards will be reviewed annually.
