our employees, occupational illness, equipment damage, property damage and
environmental damage or pollution. This commitment is based on a respect for

We do not accept that accidents and injuries are part of our business, and will not
compromise safety for profit or production.
We hold our leaders accountable for the safety in our business. We expect our
managers and supervisors to provide effective leadership in safety whilst
recognizing that good safety behaviour is the responsibility of all those who work
for us.
We strive for a no-blame culture but cannot accept intentional neglect or
disregard for our safety rules.
Our main focus is on prevention of accidents before they happen by proactive
risk assessment and mitigation through the hierarchy of controls.
All APMT companies, contractors and joint ventures must manage safety in line
with this policy irrespective of whether it concerns our own employees,
contractors or any other external parties working on or visiting any of our
facilities.
If a non-controlled APMT company is unable or unwilling to apply this policy
APMT Senior Management Team will decide on our continued involvement.
