SHE-Q initiatives

SMIT recognizes the need for proactive SHE-Q initiatives. We are taking significant steps in the right direction whilst working together to achieve targets relating to safety, health, environment and quality.

Some of our SHE-Q initiatives include:

Safety, Health

• Initiation of behavioral Safety Campaigns
• Voluntary ISM compliance for sheerleg operations.
• A new safety campaign entitled ‘Our Goal is Zero Accidents – Injuries’.
• Addressing intensifying security issues through:
  • Engaging dedicated security service providers;
  • Establishing a Crisis Command Centre.
• Co-ordinated occupational/workplace health assessment.

Environment

• A greening SMIT communication campaign.
• Subsidizing of an E-Scooter program (i.e. electric scooters) and investment in a pool of hybrid cars.
• Commissioning of a Carbon Footprint Study.
• Exploring reduction of office and ‘yard’ energy consumption through technology that controls unnecessarily high voltage supply.
• In cooperation with partners, two separate initiatives aimed at the development of a ‘Green’ vessel:
  • Efficient in Operation, Environmentally Friendly, Economically Viable Tug (E3);
  • Hybrid, Hydrogen, Harbour Tug (H3T).
• Various vessel modifications to improve emissions and fuel efficiency, e.g. fuel consumption indication.
