Health, Safety & Environment
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) is a key priority for Koura, which is why we have a strong record in safety across our global operations.
The safety of our people is our obsession, so we have 10 fundamental principles to uphold the highest standards of health, safety and environment across all Koura sites.
Our fundamentals cover all aspects of operational safety at every level; from injury prevention and every-day operations up to the highest level of decision-making and policy formation.
Our Fundamentals
1. All injuries, occupational illnesses, and HSE events can be prevented.
2. Health, Safety, and the Environment are part of every decision we make.
3. Working safely, with respect for health and the environment, is a condition of employment.
4. People are the most important element of the HSE program.
5. Leadership is responsible for HSE implementation.
6. Everyone is expected to identify, assess and control operational hazards/risks.
7. Everyone must maintain the necessary skills to work safely and protect the environment.
8. We seek to continuously improve our operational and HSE performance.
9. We investigate all events and share the learnings across the organization.
10. Everyone has the authority and responsibility to stop unsafe work.
Commitment to Process Safety
Koura’s processes are designed, operated, and maintained within a robust Process Safety Management (PSM) framework.
This focuses on the prevention of high-risk events to protect life and protect the environment. This is achieved through the application of inherently safer design principles, engineered solutions, disciplined operating and maintenance practices, and high reliability mitigation systems.
Koura is committed to continuous improvement to achieve world-class PSM performance, not only by meeting the minimum expectations of the regulations of the countries in which we operate, but by going above and beyond those requirements, and to be a world-leader in PSM excellence.
We are a part of Orbia, a community of companies working together to tackle some of the world’s most complex challenges. We are bound by a common purpose: To Advance Life Around The World.
We are passionate about the topics that define how people will live and thrive tomorrow: the future of cities, buildings, agriculture, and materials.
Orbia Advance Corporation is a purpose-led company with big aspirations and has operations in 41 countries with more than 22,000 employees.
