The safety and well-being of our employees, subcontractors and stakeholders is our most important pursuit. Through a systems approach and continuous improvement, we endeavor to do no harm to people, property or the environment.

We will meet or exceed all applicable environmental, health and safety rules, laws and regulations with a mindset of hazard elimination.

We believe that our work is never so urgent or important that we cannot take the time to do it safely and in an environmentally responsible manner.

We believe that all employees shall be instilled with Stop Work Authority and are expected to use it when warranted.  We believe that stopping a job for the right reasons is more than a right, it’s an obligation.  We further believe that production in the absence of safety should never be valued or rewarded.

We strive to report ALL incidents, near-misses and spills, so that investigations can be conducted and corrective actions taken.  The sharing of information with lessons learned is a key fundamental.

We believe that all employees should be empowered through training, mentoring and awareness to act on their own to make a difference, and that safety is not purely the job of the safety department, but is a shared responsibility throughout the organization.  The active involvement by all employees is key and are likewise held accountable for their individual HSE performance.

BBGCI fully accepts its responsibility for providing a safe working environment and is totally committed to implementing and maintaining the HSEMS standards of health, safety and environmental management within all company activities.

To realize this commitment, all BBGCI operations and employees shall work together to protect the quality of the environment and the health and safety of our employees, stakeholders and neighbors.
