HSE Requirements

Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental requirements for suppliers and contractors.

One of the objectives of HSE management is to ensure that its suppliers and/or contractors develop their contractual activities with the same or higher standards than those of Cusianagas, ensuring the protection of people, healthy, safe and clean work environments, the protection of natural resources, the prevention of pollution and the promotion of good practices and operations.

Thus, in order to ensure this objective, it is necessary to communicate the environmental, occupational health and safety criteria and/or requirements to suppliers, contractors and subcontractors, which are as follows:

  • HSE: Performs the respective follow-up to suppliers, contractors and subcontractors regarding compliance with the guidelines of the Health and Safety and Environmental System in the companies.
  • The Contractor: Must ensure that its contractors and subcontractors, as well as its suppliers of goods and services within the place of execution of the Contract, comply at least with the requirements established in the policies, legal requirements and HSE standards of the Companies applicable to the work performed. The contractor shall be liable for non-compliance with the requirements included herein and for non-compliance by its subcontractors.
  • All suppliers, contractors and subcontractors must be aware of these requirements as an integral part of their commercial offer, contract or service order. They must also be aware of the specific HSE requirements applicable to the activities they will perform in the future within the scope of the Contract they sign with the Companies.

The Companies invite suppliers, contractors and their workers or subcontractors to implement good practices from the HSE area, in this sense provides some recommendations and minimum requirements to be applied in the development of the services provided to the Companies, which can be widely known in our Procedure Protocol of Communications with Suppliers.

Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS)

As part of the selection process for suppliers and contractors, the corporate guideline is to require a certificate of implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SG-SSTA) issued by the ARL to which it is affiliated. Once the contract has been signed, the contractor must submit the following documentation prior to the start of the activities under the contract:

  • Delivery of support of current social security payments for all persons involved in the activity.
  • Develop a risk analysis (ATS) of the activity which will be guided and validated with the HSE process or deliver the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Matrix of the specific activities to be developed in the contract, as appropriate.
  • Hazard identification, evaluation and risk assessment matrix of the activities to be developed, which must be submitted to S&SO.
  • For special and/or high risk activities involved in the development of the contract (work at heights, confined spaces, excavation work, hot work, special maintenance, intervention of critical equipment of the company, CNG transport services, transport of liquid fuels, transport of hazardous waste, sampling of dielectric oil, transport of hazardous substances) send the certificates of competence of the personnel who will develop the activities.
  • If the activities involve working at heights according to the legal requirement, the personnel involved in the activity must be certified for the required complexity, with fall protection equipment according to the current legal requirement and must have the certificate before the start of the activity.
  • Attend the general HSE Induction for the issuance of the safe pass, so that they can enter the facilities or authorized workplaces.
  • A list of the personnel to be employed must be submitted, with updates when there is a change in personnel.

During the development of the activities, the contractor will be subject to inspection controls, policies and legal regulations regarding health, safety and environment, by the HSE process.

According to the scope and need of the contractual activity, the contractor shall have Occupational Health and Safety personnel permanently on site where activities are carried out and developed for the organization.

No personnel will be allowed access to the work site or to begin work without the aforementioned documentation.
