It’s personal, it takes commitment, and it isn’t always convenient, but every person who works at Austin Powder knows that safety is never optional.
Austin Powder has issued a SHES Policy that defines a set of mandatory requirements that apply to all Company locations, personnel, and activities.
The SHES Management System is a set of standards and procedures developed to assist all personnel in meeting the requirements of this Policy.
Austin Powder’s SHES framework is comprehensive in its approach to identifying work-related hazards and assessing risks on both routine and non-routine bases.
Austin Powder strives to implement the Basis of Safety (BOS) in all its operations to prevent catastrophic events as well as to minimize their consequences.
At Austin Powder, Safety, Health, Environment, and Security (SHES) is a line management responsibility. However, dedicated SHES teams provide technical support to ensure adherence to the SHES Management System and drive continuous operational improvement.
This team develops, maintains, guides, and audits the implementation of the Corporate SHES Management System. It is composed of a Director and a Manager who ensure that global standards are upheld across all regions.
These teams oversee the transversality and standardization of SHES practices within specific geographic regions. Each region—North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia—is managed by one of four regional managers, who ensure that regional operations align with corporate SHES policies and objectives.
At the local level, SHES teams manage the implementation of the system within specific operations, plants, or locations. These teams ensure that the day-to-day activities are conducted in compliance with SHES standards and contribute to the overall safety and efficiency of the operations.
“We believe that all work-related injuries and illnesses can be avoided, and we will achieve this by implementing systems to ensure that the safety and health of employees and contractors is never compromised.”
– Antonio Mendez, Global Director SHES
