Safety Management System

JOEST manages safety at its operations through the application of its internal safety management system. This specifies accountabilities for safety management and monitoring required at every level of the organisation. Performance is reviewed regularly.

Our commitment to quality flows from the fact that, long after equipment is supplied and installed, our reputation will continue to be influenced by the quality of the work and service we provided. JOEST has a documented system of comprehensive and practical management plans and procedures to ensure that the quality of our service satisfies our clients, and our own, criteria.

Management is committed, and responsible for, the continual development of the system and its application in all operations.

The system is upgraded as a result of a continual improvement strategy and monitored for compliance. Sub-contractors are assessed to ensure they meet our quality standards.
