With a revised HSE policy and a new HSE strategy, 2006 saw Technip consolidate its global HSE processes and introduce a new HSE management system.

In 2007, a global HSE information management system was introduced to provide single point of reporting and incident analysis. Technip also introduced a global standard for incident investigation.

2008 has seen the launch of the PULSE program. The program is designed to identify and address key HSE leadership issues and establish a consistent approach to HSE leadership across the business. The first phase of the program involves a global HSE climate survey of all employees. The next phase during 2008 is the roll out of a HSE leadership training program. PULSE is an ongoing program which will facilitate HSE climate change and reaffirm HSE as a value within Technip.

In 2007, the number of man-hours worked by the Group and its subcontractors reached a record 407 million, 60% more than in 2006. The Group's total recordable injury rate (TRIR) decreased by 10%, meeting the objective set for the year.

Security Charter

The security of our people, property and information is one of the core values of Technip. This Charter defines the Group's objectives in this area and the corresponding guidelines.

Our Objectives
  • Protect to the best of our ability our employees while they are exercising their functions.
  • Protect our assets and our strategic information.
  • Protect our facilities, both on land and at sea.
  • Maintain the integrity of our image and reputation.
  • Propose appropriate measures to protect our projects.

Our Guidelines

In order to achieve our objectives, we have established the following guidelines:
  • Anticipate the occurrence of high risk situations through analysis of risk factors. The results of such analysis will determine the conditions under which an existing site or project may be continued, as well as how a new site or project will be created.
  • Organize security plans and procedures. Each project team has a security plan, which is validated by the Group before the project becomes operational. In emergency situations, it is important to act efficiently and in a coordinated manner, particularly with regard to procedures concerning health and safety. Security plans are verified, updated and tested by local managers.
  • Involve management in the process of implementing and updating all aspects of security. Management works closely with the Group's Security Division, whose members are in charge of applying the Group's security measures and procedures.
  • Practice prevention from the occurrence of high risk situations through employee awareness of security procedures, employees at each level being aware of their roles and duties in preventing risks. Keeping employees informed about security conditions will result in decreased exposure to risks.
  • Seek to improve procedures while they are implemented by making necessary corrections. The Security Division should be informed of any and all such corrections, so they may apply them to other entities of the Group as applicable. All measures, plans and procedures are regularly reviewed by the Group's Security Division. These procedures will rely on information, experience, coordination and training.
  • Protect strategic information of Technip. In case of access to sensitive or confidential information, ensure they are not disclosed intentionally or through carelessness. Comply with archiving and record retention policies in compliance with local laws as well as Technip standards that govern these issues.
  • Prefer partners who benefit from a security policy.
 
     
 

Security is built upon three main foundations: the protection of people (Technip's absolute priority), of sites and of information.
Real time analysis of the international situation allows us to immediately adapt security measures in function of its evolution and to monitor our employees who are travelling. Human, technical and material resources are implemented to provide efficient and proportioned protection to our sites, offshore zones and through these measures, our employees.
The protection of information is subject to specific measures, supported continuously by awareness-building programs and independent audits.
Our know-how, acquired through experience developed in the execution of major projects, along with a commitment to transparency and a constant search for efficiency and improvement are recognized by our clients, with whom we work in close cooperation.
