Protecting our Planet, our People, our customers and our contractors, subcontractors and their employees is of paramount importance. Noontide believes that leading environmental, health and safety performance contributes to our competitive strength and benefits our customers, shareholders and employees as well as the environment.
The safety of our workforce and the protection of our environment are of primary importance to Noontide. We are committed to: providing a safe and healthy working environment as a prerequisite to our operations; continuous improvement in minimizing our environmental impacts, preventing pollution and limiting depletion of natural resources; and the on-going reduction of risks at our operating sites.
Noontide will comply with applicable environmental, health and safety laws, directives, regulations and other requirements as a baseline for doing business, not as a goal. We believe compliance is a shared responsibility, and we will include compliance sustainability as a routine part of operations, monitor such compliance through our real time reporting system and accumulative database, standard job descriptions with built in reporting requirements regular self-assessments and audits of our operations. We will take corrective actions as warranted.
We will periodically identify those aspects of our operations on a local level which have the most significant environmental, health and safety impact, and establish objectives and targets for continuous improvement in these areas. In particular, we will work to advance the following aspects within our operations:
In order to facilitate this, Noontide will require appropriate training and resources for direct and indirect employees to use responsible environmental, health and safety practices. We require our employees and vendors to make sound environmental, health and safety management an integral part of their job. Management will demonstrate environmental, health and safety leadership and help build a culture across the company where all employees embrace this policy and these guiding principles as their responsibility.
