Health and Safety

Babel’s most important corporate policy is to provide a safe and healthy work environment for its employees, workers, subcontractors, clients, and the general public. Babel has a Zero Incident Rate goal for its projects and will actively manage projects/jobs accordingly.After Babel has its first site walk-through we will finalize the site specific HSP, and Babel's SSH Manager will a Safety First Environment in every task to meet or exceed all safety regulations.

In Iraq, which had no safety infrastructure or culture, Babel succeeded in implementing the necessary safety policies and controls to minimize injury and improve the overall safety culture on its projects.

To ensure safety on its contracts, Babel will:
• Provide all on-site personnel the authority to enforce safety and will hold each worker responsible and accountable for safety
• Assign an SSH Manager, who will be supported by Safety Specialists on site during any fieldwork
• Develop a project-specific HSP and field procedures for any high-hazard activities
• Provide safety training to workers and subcontractors prior to commencing work, daily tailgate safety meetings, and follow-up training
• Adhere to the strictest safety practices and enforce a zero-incident policy for unsafe work habits
• Conduct daily site audits to ensure safety procedures and practices are followed
• Encourage any employee or subcontractor to report infractions or dangerous activities directly to the Health and Safety Manager

Subcontractors who provide on-site labor are required to provide PPE for their workers, including work shoes, safety glasses, respirators, ear protection, gloves, hard hats, and jump suits. To ensure enforcement of the PPE requirements, Babel maintains backup PPE supplies on site.
