The China Navigation Company Limited (CNCo) is committed to ensuring that Occupational Health and Safety considerations are an integral part of its decision-making process and culture. CNCo’s philosophy is never to allow business objectives to compromise the health and safety of its employees, customers, visitors, contractors and the wider community.

Recognising that all operational and occupational situations involve some level of risk, CNCo will, through its management processes, identify significant hazards and assess the risks to minimize workplace related injuries and damage to health.

CNCo will engage external service providers to carry out regular auditing in ensuring compliance with this policy.

To achieve these objectives CNCo will:

· Maintain OH&S standards that meet or exceed legal requirements and CNCo’s customers’ expectations.
· Continually review OH&S procedures through the Safety Management System (SMS) to ensure CNCo staff follow best practice.
· Require CNCo staff to adhere to its OH&S procedures, whilst encouraging contractors, suppliers and customers to implement and enact an OH&S policy themselves that meets similar legal standards.
· Encourage CNCo staff to maintain a high standard of health and safety consciousness. Management, in turn, will ensure that all staff have the required facilities, training and support to achieve this.
