We are committed to ensuring that health and safety is an integral business consideration and that our operations should never compromise safety. Our vision is to achieve the ultimate goal of zero harm for employees, contractors, neighbouring communities and the environment.
Argent Energy’s ultimate goal is to prevent workplace injuries and illness, so that every Argent Energy employee can return home safely to their loved ones at the end of each day.
Argent Energy is focused on the safety and environmental controls relating to its activities from both a process safety and occupational safety perspective. Over the last few years we have invested – and are committed to further investing – in our sites, assets and employees, to drive improvements in our safety culture. These commitments live at the core of our culture and guide every decision that we make. By working together with integrity, we constantly strive to create a safe, incident-free workplace everywhere, every day. Whether we are starting a new project, enhancing an existing process, or even choosing a new supplier, we keep these commitments at the forefront of every action.
As a business, we aim to develop and maintain an effective SHE management system that is both useful and easy to use for all. Our aim is to cut through the legal complexity of safety and environmental legislation to provide practical and easily understood worksite support that helps Argent Energy achieve its targets safely and in a legally compliant way.
