SHES Management System

This set of standards is expanded as deemed necessary by the Management Team according to the needs. Compliance with these requirements is measured through an auditing plan that include local and corporate audits.

The SHES Management System is a set of standards and procedures (contained in the SHES Manual) developed to assist all personnel in meeting the requirements of this Policy.

This set of standards is expanded as deemed necessary by the Management Team according to the needs. Compliance with these requirements is measured through an auditing plan that include local and corporate audits.

The results of these audits are used to:

  1. Identify local areas of exposure to personnel, assets, business and third parties.
  2. Identify common areas of concern and develop the appropriate improvement plans and safety programs to address these issues.
  3. Support the Letter of Assurance (LOA) and for the License to Operate (LTO).

 

The audit process can be divided into two categories: local or corporate.

Local audits are conducted by auditors from various organizational levels who are trained to evaluate practices and procedures to ensure compliance with the SHES Manual. This ongoing process is performed according to a year-round
program, leading to the identification of improvement opportunities. These opportunities are addressed through an interdisciplinary approach aimed at continuous improvement.

The global SHES team performs Basis of Safety audits, a critical step for the License to Operate (LTO) process. The LTO is reviewed and renewed annually and is subject to the completion of the identified actions.

External providers and auditors may assist with these processes if the audit findings require specialized technical services. The results of both local and global audit processes are essential inputs for preparing the Letter of Assurance. This fundamental document, prepared annually, reflects the previous year’s results, the challenges faced, and those that still lie ahead. It also demonstrates the management’s commitment to continuous improvement in SHES aspects of our operations. To support the identified improvements, an action plan accompanies it, the SHES Improvement Plan.
