Commitment
Meridien’s objective is to conduct engineering and project activities in a manner that protects people, property and the environment. HSE considerations should be built into technical decisions rather than treated as a final compliance check.
Principles
- Comply with applicable HSE laws, client requirements and site rules.
- Identify hazards and material environmental aspects early in engineering and planning.
- Apply suitable risk assessment and elimination or reduction measures.
- Respect stop-work and escalation principles where an immediate unsafe condition is identified.
- Support safe design, constructability, commissioning, operation and maintenance.
- Promote responsible resource, energy and waste decisions where within project scope.
- Learn from incidents, near misses and relevant project experience.
Responsibilities
Everyone working for or on behalf of Meridien is responsible for following applicable controls, raising concerns and avoiding work for which required competence, authorization or information is missing.
Industrial refrigeration
For ammonia and CO₂ refrigeration assignments, safety-relevant topics such as refrigerant inventory, isolation, detection, ventilation, relief interfaces, access, emergency philosophy and applicable regulatory requirements should be considered according to project scope and jurisdiction.
