	Strategy

	SHE Management System We aim to conduct our work in such a way that nobody comes to harm as a result of that work, whether they be our employees, partners or members of the public. We implement health and safety management systems that are consistent with the internationally recognised standard, OHSAS 18001, and we are totally committed to continuous improvement. AMEC has developed a core framework for the management of safety, health and environmental (SHE) issues that is to be implemented across all its operations worldwide as part of our drive for excellence in SHE management. The key requirements of the system are:
	Consistent SHE policy statements throughout AMEC's operations
	Procedures for hazard identification, risk assessment and control
	Documented, measurable annual SHE objectives and plans
	Clear management structure and responsibilities
	Competence assurance and training identification
	Arrangements for communication and consultation
	Operating procedures
	Arrangements for SHE document control and retention
	Active performance indicators
	A system for notification, investigation, recording of and learning from accidents, near misses and environmental incidents
	An audit system
	Regular management reports on SHE performance
	Regular management reviews
	This system is based on recognised standards, i.e. OHSAS 18001 "Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems" and ISO 14001 "Environmental Management Systems".
