Every HEM subcontractor and partner is asked to adopt our commitment to safety and health. The result is exceptional safety performance, even in exceptionally hazardous work environments, severe weather, and remote locations.
Our dedication to safety also pays off for our customers. Their operating costs go down, productivity goes up, and they lose less time to accidents. They also pay less for insurance, and receive substantial rebates for unused premiums.
In the course of developing and refining our safety program, we've helped raise the bar for construction as a whole. Among our achievements:
• Lighter-weight hard hats, better eye and face protection, and ergonomically improved tools and equipment.
• A full-body harness to protect employees working at heights exceeding 6 feet. Our Fall Protection System has become an industry model, used by labor unions and other construction firms worldwide.
• A Back Injury Prevention Program of stretching exercise and training in lifting techniques that has substantially reduced back injury claims.
• A People-Based Safety Program that puts the responsibility for changing and eliminating unsafe practices in the hands of workers with strong support from project management.
HEM's culture is grounded in integrity and respect. At SAKHYDRO this means adhering to the highest standards of ethical business culture. Our reputation for adhering to these standards is one of our most valuable assets. We stand by everything we do.
HEM does not tolerate behavior that is not fair and ethical, and all employees are required to comply with these standards and with applicable local, state, federal, and in-country laws.
