Effective Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) policies set a clear direction for ADWEA to follow. They contribute to all aspects of business performance as part of a commitment for continuous improvement within the Electricity and Water industry. In the field of Health Safety & Environment we seek to achieve the highest standard. We do not pursue this aim simply to achieve compliance with current legislation, but because it is in our best interests.
Performance is measured against agreed standards to reveal where and when improvements are needed. Continued active self-monitoring by ADWEA will reveal how effective the HSE management system is working. However, to make long-term improvements we need everyone to accept that good health and safety practices are an investment not a cost. We cannot make major improvements in HSE if we do not have visible and sustained commitment from people in all areas of work – including top-level management.
ADWEA needs to go forward and build on these initiatives. The incentives to improve are clear and everyone has a part to play in making these improvements a reality. The range of initiatives recognized today gives greater hope for the future.
The Water & Electricity Savings Campaign - ‘Rethink Your Lifestyle’ has been a success but we cannot stop there.
More drives will be implemented in the future which will result in greater energy efficiency, resulting in lower utility bills, improved comfort, environmental benefits and helping water and power supplies last longer for future generations.
ADWEA has been certified according to the following standards :
- ISO 9001 : 2008
- ISO 14001:2004
- OHSAS 18001:2007
