Health, Safety, Security & Environment

Bertling's health and safety mantra is 'Forward Safely'

Bertling's health, safety, security and environmental policies have been framed by in-house, experienced, qualified specialists to ensure that movement of clients' goods is managed without damage to the environment; without hazard to personnel and without risk to the cargo.

Bertling's HSSE targets are...

• zero major incidents
• to fulfil all relevant national and international legislative requirements
• not to damage and, where possible, to improve the environment
• to encourage the development of a safety culture amongst the personnel and contractors
• safety of goods in transit by compliance with the C-TPAT and AEO programmes
• to provide training to our personnel and, where appropriate, our contractors.

Bertling's training methods...

• establish common standards worldwide by using smart e-learning tools
• utilise established examination bodies with internationally recognised certification
• are progressive and related to seniority and role
• are constantly reviewed and updated to follow industry best practice
• combine 'in-house' tuition with external e-learning and 'taught' courses
• are offered to Bertling's contractors.

Bertling's HSSE planning...

• extends from collection to delivery
• examines HSSE hazards and risks from project conception to completion
• ensures legislative compliance at all points en route
• reduces the consequences of hazards and risk to as low as reasonably practicable
• identifies local companies that can be contracted or partnered to maximise local involvement
• includes consultation with local communities to minimise any disruption to their environment and maximise any legacy benefits
• is regularly revised as threat assessments change
