Safety Policy Statement
JSPL recognises that people are its assets and fundamental to its success, and in this respect declares as its corporate policy that it shall, as far as practicable, provide a safe and healthy workplace for all employees and subcontractors. The top management emphasises that each and every person must work together to achieve this objective so that the shipyard will be a better place to work in.


In this connection, the Company undertakes to:
• adopt a safety first policy at all times
• educate and instil safety consciousness in all employees and subcontractors
• ensure that safe work procedures and work instructions comply with local and international standards as well as safety-related legislations stated by the Ministry of Manpower (Singapore)
• constantly improve and provide a safe and healthy working environment
• ensure that the policy statement is readily available to all employee and interested parties
• disseminate the policy via displaying the statement at strategic locations within the yard premises
• review target and objectives at least once a year to ensure relevance of statement


Safety is a line management responsibility. All managers and supervisors are committed to ensure that their subordinates perform their duties not only efficiently but safely. Top managers must play an important role as a leader and lead by example for others to follow.
 


International Ship & Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code
JSPL has been awarded the Provisional Statement of Compliance in March 2003 for meeting the IMO's international code for the security of ship and port facilities. In compliance with the ISPS Code, Jurong Shipyard has implemented comprehensive security measures such as stringent access control, close monitoring of port facilities and tight supervision of cargo handling, to counter possible threats to maritime security and protect the total interest of customers and employees.

Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS)

To enhance safety and health standards, JSPL is moving from an independent safety culture, which depended on self-regulatory systems and safety audits, to an inter-dependent one, which relies on behavioural and cultural changes. The Behaviour-Based Safety model would allow employees to observe and feedback on critical or at-risk behaviour on the job. It aims to inculcate a sense of individual responsibility in ensuring safety for oneself and others around him.
