Health, Safety & Environment
Nile Drilling & Services is committed to achieving an injury-free work environment and maintaining the highest Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) standards in the industry.
We strive for continuous improvement in our HSE performance through the active involvement of our management, employees, and third parties (visitors, contractors, and clients).
The Health, Safety, and Environmental Affairs Department is responsible for the development of procedures and training programs that support this policy. We have established HSE systems to clearly assign responsibility and delegate authority to achieve the following objectives:
Health
Nile Drilling believes it is good practice to provide positive, preventive health programs designed to enhance employees’ well-being, fitness for work, productivity, and personal safety.
Our programs and protective measures are intended to mitigate or eliminate work-related health risks that could potentially affect our employees and third parties (visitors, contractors, clients).
Safety
Nile Drilling is dedicated to ensuring that each employee understands and works in accordance with the company's safe work procedures and programs. We provide opportunities for all employees to discuss matters of safety and give them training, as well as an effective means of communication and feedback.
All Nile Drilling employees and contractors have both the authority and the obligation to stop work if they don’t understand what they are supposed to be doing or if there is a risk to any person or the environment.
Environmental
Nile Drilling is committed to a clean, healthy environment. We provide our customers with safe, reliable, and responsive services in an environmentally sensitive manner. We comply with the environmental laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate and act responsibly in the absence of such laws and regulations.
We train and educate our employees to be environmentally responsible both on the job and at home, work to prevent pollution, reduce the amount of waste at our facilities, and participate in industry, government, and community organizations to further common environmental objectives.
