Safety & Environmental Policy

Home / Company / Safety & Environmental Policy

BROOK OCEAN SHIPPING L.L.C. has identified safety and the environment as two key areas in its sphere of operations that are of paramount importance and need to be effectively controlled to prevent unnecessary injuries, loss of life, damage to health, property and degradation of the environment.

 

To meet this requirement BROOK OCEAN SHIPPING L.L.C. has embraced the IMO’s International Safety Management (ISM) Code requirements within it’s Quality / Safety System.   The quality including safety management system is designed to ensure the Company’s activities are sufficiently controlled to protect personnel, property and the environment from all risks and hazards that can be reasonably expected.

 

The Company also recognizes that an effective Quality, Safety and Environmental Protection Programmer makes for a more profitable operation and thereby ensures the welfare of all involved in the business both ashore and at sea. This Safety Management system complies with the mandatory rules and regulations and all applicable codes, guidelines and standards recommended by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Flag Administrations, Classification Societies and marine industry organizations.

 

Safety is the concern of all and has no rank. However, to be effective it has to be management led. To this end, the management is committed to making all personnel more safety conscious and encourage all to become actively involved in identifying possible hazards, implementing corrective action and constantly monitoring all facets of their working environment to ensure Quality/Safety conditions prevail.

 

An accident is indicative of a failure in the operating system and the Company is committed to fully investigating all accidents or near miss incidents. The results of such investigations and any necessary corrective action will be brought to the attention of all concerned so they all may learn from the incident.

 

Learning is a never ending journey to the road of excellence and effective training is fundamental to the Company’s business and its safety culture. As our standards improve, new goals and targets will be set to which all personnel shall strive to attain.
