Safety you can audit.
Health and safety is part of everything we do, from the equipment we buy to how our drivers are recruited, trained and rested. Here is what a prequalification review will find.
Four things we can prove
HS-01
Tracked, point to point
Every vehicle is fitted with IVMS. You can follow your load from pickup to delivery, and every driver is continuously monitored and rated on performance.
HS-03
ICV
65.65%ICV certified
Our In-Country Value certificate, scored at 65.65%, reflects our investment in local people, local suppliers and the Qatari economy.
HS-02
Certified by third parties
Every crane carries a valid load proof test certificate, hook and block conformity certification and valid third-party inspection. Tanker safety valves are certified.
HS-04
Trained, rested crews

A well-rested team is a safe team
Health and safety is part of everything we do, and we have never compromised on it, however busy our schedule.
A strict working-hours policy prevents fatigue and gives our team time to rest and develop. Many of our drivers have worked with Q-companies and are used to the highest HSE standards.
