At CNCo, we care not just about the safety of our people, but our contractors too. Both our operating divisions, Swire Shipping and Swire Bulk, work closely with port services partners to ensure that the safety culture extends beyond our vessels and are reiterated during operational activities ashore.
We understand that achieving Zero Harm in the long-term, and sustaining it, is built on continuous improvement and leveraging on vital elements of behaviours, attitudes, awareness, competency and teamwork.
In all our ports of call, we aim to raise safety awareness amongst stevedores and port workers.
Key initiatives include:
- Frequent sharing of key safety information and best practices;
- Collecting, measuring and analysing data to monitor contractors' safety performance;
- Collaborating with contractors, charterers and cargo clients to promote safety goals and strengthen good practices during cargo operations – three Hazards Safety Awareness Programme;
- Identifying safety hazards and potential incidents, and sharing lessons learnt;
- Developing a Regional Safety Champions (RSC) programme for Swire Shipping partners aimed at providing a regional safety overview for Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands;
- Successfully starting a Safety Supervision campaign for Swire Bulk partners in India and Thailand, where local Port Captains attend and supervise vessel operations, provide missing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), reiterate our safety messages and intervene in unsafe operations.
We understand that achieving Zero Harm in the long-term, and sustaining it, is built on continuous improvement and leveraging on vital elements of behaviours, attitudes, awareness, competency and teamwork.
