‘Zero Harm to People’ is a non-negotiable commitment at INSEE Cement where the health and safety of all our stakeholders remains one of our utmost priorities and is the foundation of the INSEE Sustainability Ambition 2030. We believe that all occupational injuries, illnesses, and other hazards are preventable, and have committed to grow our business responsibly and sustainably, adhering to effective OHS Management Systems.
INSEE Cement is committed to nurturing healthy and safe working environments, but our obligation does not stop with our employees; we are committed to improving health and safety measures throughout our value chain. The INSEE Cement OHS commitment starts at the top tier of our leadership with the Executive Committee, and cascades down across all strata of the company. Each employee, contractor or any other stakeholder when engaging with INSEE Cement also commits to working safely and being attentive to the health and safety of others, while also understanding and following established OHS rules and procedures at INSEE Cement. No one person is exempt of following OHS rules and procedures established, and no one may undertake or permit any unsafe act or to work in an unsafe or unhealthy condition.
Aside from the responsibility taken by our Executive Committee on OSH implementation, ‘Safety Leadership’ has been a critical part of establishing good governance at INSEE Cement. We believe management is the most significant influence on employee behavior, and that it is the ability of management to influence and control the behavior of employees that determines whether injuries occur in a workplace. 96% of workplace injuries are traced in one form or another back to unsafe acts and behaviors of employees.
INSEE Cement complies with all applicable legislation and regulations with regard workplace OHS and aims to continuously improve the health and safety performance benchmark of the company. Our commitment and effort have resulted in continuously decreasing incident rates year-on-year, while making progress against evolving targets set by ourselves. INSEE focuses on active KPIs rather than reactive ones with priorities given to safety observational tours, task observations and OHS training hours. The OHS performance is continuously reviewed and monitored by the Central Safety Committee headed by our dedicated OHS team, with bimonthly meetings presided by the Chairman, CEO and Executive Committee. Site-wise safety performance is reviewed monthly by Safety Sub-Committees at each INSEE Cement operational location.
Develop OHS capabilities of key individuals in various roles across the company with structured trainings programs covering IOSH Managing Safety Course Content, with participants awarded a certificate by IOSH upon successful completion of the programs. Our management also uses Visible Felt Leadership (VFL) as a tool to demonstrate their OHS Leadership; employees “see” managers talking about safety and “feel” its importance to the company, while leaders contribute their most important asset -” time” – to drive the message through.
INSEE Cement works closely with the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health of Sri Lanka (NIOSH) to uplift national OHS standards; we have partnered with NIOSH to conduct a one-year professional OHS training program to develop professional capacities of GCE A/L qualified students to become NVQ Level 5 qualified Safety Officers, while also renewing our commitment as Technical Partners of the Annual National Safety Awards organized by NIOSH each year.
