Report errors and deficiencies of significance for the environment, safety, and health to the responsible parties.

You must always familiarize yourself with local health, environment, and safety regulations, and any heightened requirements in the workplace always take precedence over FH Contractors' general requirements. FH Contractors' guidelines constitute minimum standards for safety regulations, unless otherwise stated in writing. Local safety requirements from other companies related to your work should be prioritized over FH Contractors' guidelines. You must always comply with the laws of the country where you work. Violations may result in dismissal. Alcohol and intoxicating substances are prohibited in the workplace, and intoxication or influence will not be tolerated. Abuse will result in immediate dismissal at your own expense..

Remember, safety always comes first!

These guidelines constitute the foundation for health, environment, safety, and quality at FH Contractors. By adhering to them, you contribute to our common goal of maintaining a high level of safety in the workplace, which protects both people, the environment, and equipment.
