The personal safety and health of each employee of this company is of primary importance. The prevention of occupationally induced injuries and illness is of such consequence that it will be given precedence over operating productivity. To the greatest degree possible, management will ensure that all mechanical and physical facilities are in compliance with the East Delta Saudi Co LTD (EDSCO) standards, EDSCO will manage their H&S by:

• East Delta Saudi Co LTD believes in the dignity and importance of the individual employee and his right to expect that he will be provided with a safe place to work.
• No work shall be considered efficiently completed unless the worker has followed every precaution and safety rule to protect himself and his fellow workers.
• PPE is necessary when your employees are exposed to a hazard that you cannot eliminate or control any other way.
• Although PPE is another way to control a hazard, it is only a barrier between the hazard and the worker. When PPE does not properly fit a worker or the worker does not use it correctly, the worker risks exposure.
• Striving for excellence in occupational health and safety. This will be achieved by seeking to continually improve the company occupational health and safety management system, safety performance, and safety culture so that it meets the expectations of those that may be affected by what we do;
• Preventing accidental injuries and ill health by making suitable assessments and implementing appropriate control measures so that any identified residual risk results in a level that is considered “as low as reasonably practicable” [ALARP].
• Complying with [as an absolute minimum], all health and safety legislative and regulatory requirements applicable to our activities.
• Setting corporate health and safety objectives annually and reviewing progress towards these, SHEQ management meetings with input from the GLT.
• To consult with employees on matters affecting their health, safety & welfare, and to encourage active participation in maintaining and improving standards.
• Providing and maintaining safe and healthy premises in line with legislative requirements and EDSCO & client required standards and expectations.
• Ensuring employees are sufficiently competent to complete their tasks by providing information, instruction, training, and supervision as necessary to ensure a safe and healthy working environment is maintained.
• Committing to improving knowledge of all mental health illness, promoting wellbeing, implementing necessary controls to ensure any new/existing conditions is never exacerbated, and ensuring any employee suffering from such illness, is given the help they require.
• To suitably investigate accidents, near misses, and cases of work-related ill-health in order to prevent any reoccurrence, and strive to improve the occupational health and safety performance for the EDSCO business.

We are committed to developing HSE conscious community so that Health, Safety, and Environmental awareness are not confined within the worksites only.

East Delta Saudi CO LTD is committed to promoting sustainability. Concern for the environment and promoting a broader sustainability agenda are integral to EDSCO’s (East Delta Saudi CO.LTD) professional activities and the management of the organization. We aim to follow and to promote good sustainability practices, to reduce the environmental impacts of all our activities, and to help our clients to do the same.

Our Sustainability Policy is based upon the following principles:

• To comply with, and exceed where practicable, all applicable legislation, regulations, and codes of practice.
• To integrate sustainability considerations into all our business decisions.
• To ensure that all staff are fully aware of our Sustainability Policy and are committed to implementing and improving it.
• To minimize the impact on the sustainability of all office, projects  & transportation activities.
• To make clients and suppliers aware of our Sustainability Policy, and encourage them to adopt sustainable management practices.
• To review annual reports, and continually strive to improve our sustainability performance.

In order to put these principles into practice we will:

• Avoid physically traveling to meetings etc where alternatives are available and practical, such as using teleconferencing, video conferencing, or webcams, and efficient timing of meetings to avoid multiple trips. These options are also often more time-efficient, while not sacrificing the benefits of regular contact with clients and partners.
• Reduce the need for our staff to travel by supporting alternative working arrangements, including home working, etc.
• Minimize our use of paper and other office consumables, for example by double-siding all paper used, and identifying opportunities to reduce waste.
• As far as possible arrange for the reuse or recycling of office waste, including paper, computer supplies, and redundant equipment.
• Reduce the energy consumption of office & Project work equipment by purchasing energy-efficient equipment and good housekeeping.
• Purchase electricity from a supplier committed to renewable energy. Seek to maximize the proportion from renewable energy sources, whilst also supporting investment in new renewable energy schemes.
• Ensure that timber furniture and any other timber products are recycled or from well-managed, sustainable sources and are Forest Stewardship Council certified.
• Purchase fair-trade and/or organic beverages.
• Undertake voluntary work with the local community and/or environmental organizations and make donations to seek to offset carbon emissions from our activities.
• Ensure that any Subcontractors, Suppliers, or Designers that we employ take account of sustainability issues.
• Where possible deploy “Virtualization” technology in the IT Department to ensure that the Company’s energy consumption requirements are minimized by reducing the number of physical machines required to mount IT solutions onto.
• Strive to achieve a more paperless office. To this end, several document management systems have been developed that allow employees and customers to retrieve and transmit documents electronically e.g. PODs Invoices, etc.
• Through our “Load Tracker” Company Building and Satellite Tracking software continually monitor all vehicle journeys and optimize Company-building to ensure that all vehicle movements and volumes are minimized thereby reducing our CO2 emissions.

Sustainable Aggregates Procurement

• In line with the commitment to promote sustainability and minimize the environmental impact of our activities, East Delta Saudi CO LTD will endeavor to procure aggregates that have been responsibly sourced.
• When sourcing aggregates, preference will be given to recycled or secondary aggregates, wherever permissible by contract specification.
• Where suitable recycled or secondary aggregates are not available and, whenever reasonably practical, aggregates will be procured from sources accredited to the environmental and Sustainability Standard ISO14001:2015 & OHSAS 18001 Framework Standard for the Responsible Sourcing of Construction Products.
• Where aggregates are not available from ISO14001:2015 & OHSAS 18001 accredited sources, we will require the supplier to provide evidence to demonstrate the aggregate was responsibly sourced.
