High standards and improvements

It is an important part of our daily efforts that we continually improve on protecting our employees, setting the highest standard for quality and reducing our environmental impact

Health, Safety, Security, Environment & Quality

Commitment, training and a constant pursuit of better performance is the foundation of our HSSEQ initiatives.

One of our tools to achieve excellence within all areas of HSSEQ is our Management System ensuring continual improvements in all parameters.

All employees worldwide can access the system which describes best practice throughout the organisation based on our past experiences.

Great achievements require teamwork, and all Blue Water employees shall comply with existing laws and regulations, encourage a safe workplace and make an effort to protect our colleagues. This reflects our spirit, values and culture. Measuring our performance is part of ensuring our progress.

We are committed to set the highest standards within HSSEQ to protect the environment, our company and our most important asset – our employees.
