We understand a healthy and pleasant working environment is essential for the sustainable growth of a company. Safety Committee was set up in as early as 1979, well ahead of other local building contractors. In 2007, SOCAM has expanded its Safety Department into the Health Safety and Environment (HSE) Department which is responsible for formulating and implementing Health, Safety and Environmental Policy Statement and ensures our operations are conducted safely, efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner. We commit to providing all necessary resources for effective implementation and continuous improvement in this aspect.
The Company organises a number of activities to promote occupational health, safety and environmental protection, e.g. annual Health Safety and Environmental Target Seminar which sets the coming years' goals and work plans; publication of quarterly safety newsletter to disseminate the latest news on HSE and relevant rules and ordinances; workshop for major sub-contractors to raise their awareness on HSE, etc.
The ultimate aim is to reduce industrial accidents, environmental pollution and nuisances, and generation of construction and demolition materials to the minimum and promote a healthy, pleasant and sustainable environment.
