HEALTH , SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT AND QUALITY
Guardian implements a hazard and risk identification management strategy with the intent of eliminating identified hazards or managing the residual risk of the identified hazard to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP), when elimination is assessed as not possible.
Guardian recognises that unidentified hazards or inadequately controlled residual risks, exposes all stakeholders to unacceptable business, environmental and personal risk levels. One, or a combination of these, has the potential to adversely affect our ability to protect employees, clients and business continuity.
