Introduction
Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Management is an integral and essential part of the way
we do our business and is considered an equal part of the wider system for the management of
our business.
• The structure for the management of Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) within the
MARABA AL IRAQ AL KHADRAA divisions.
It is the responsibility of each division to determine how these expectations and requirements are
to be achieved.
The MARABA AL IRAQ AL KHADRAA HSE Management System defines the elements by which
we will conduct our operations worldwide in order to protect our people, the public, our property
and the environment in which they work and live.
The HSE Management System model is comprised of seven interrelated elements with underlying
expectations:
5. Planning
6. Implementation, Recording and Monitoring

and environmental issues are properly assigned, accepted, understood, and that the concept of
line management responsibilities are clear on and around all MARABA operations. .

operations, to remove or, at the very least, prevent all forms of risk resulting in an incident and

operations, and where our business is at risk.

and line managers will understand that good leadership will not come through a position, but
through good attitude, and belief in the company HSE structure.
Through a comprehensive understanding of the HSE function, visible, and tangible results will be
evident. Confidence in leadership ability will be achieved through active participation in the
communication process starting with crew supervisors via scheduled and impromptu field visits,
through to crew line management.
During such visits operations supervisors will assist and contribute to daily toolbox meetings,
weekly head of department, or operations meetings, openly discuss HSE issues with all members
of staff at every given opportunity, and encourage feedback.
