Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Policy

Quadrise Group’s objective is to be our customers’ responsive partner in MSAR® technology and emulsion fuel; contributing to a sustainable future. Quadrise recognises the critical role it plays in the management of health and safety at work and protection of the environment as a whole. Quadrise is therefore committed to the principles of risk management, pollution prevention and undertaking its operations as a responsible corporate member of society.

Quadrise is fully aware that it operates within industries with certain inherent risks and hazards to employees, contractors, visitors, members of the public and the natural environment; as such we are committed to high standards for risk mitigation, accident prevention and control.

The company also recognises the importance of consultation, communication and participation for effective management. As such it will address the concerns of all relevant interested parties within the management system, whilst also encouraging individual employee responsibility for HSE issues.

This policy has been endorsed by the board and the senior management team, who take prime responsibility for allocating sufficient resources to ensure these objectives are achieved.
