TOOLS TO MEET STANDARDS Jotun’s new HSEQ Management System rolled out in 2016, empowering local management to take clear roles and responsibilities. If 2015 was a year of introduction, 2016 was defined by implementation. Jotun’s new HSEQ Management System was embedded throughout Jotun’s international network of facilities, with an on-going implementation process spanning extensive training, initiation activities, gap analyses and reviews. The system delegates clear HSEQ roles to local management teams, who, supported by their HSEQ manager, take individual responsibility for designated areas. Each of the following 14 elements are thus assigned to ‘element owners’: • Management requirements • Risk management • Work permits • Incident and investigation • Training • Technical safety • Personnel safety The system has been well received by local teams, who have embraced their individual roles and understood the system’s well-defined requirements, tools and best practices. On-going self-evaluation is assisting them on the path to full implementation, which is scheduled by 1 June 2017. INVESTING IN LEARNING The new system provides the structure needed for uniform high HSEQ standards across the Group, while ensuring a keen sense of involvement and ownership on local levels. Centrally, the Group HSEQ department has been busy introducing new initiatives to support this development, with a committed focus on training. Jotun Academy is central to practical learning experience, but to reach individuals in a targeted, convenient and globally effective format, e-learning is increasingly important. 2016 saw the development of 12 fresh e-learning initiatives. The below table illustrates these courses and the number of completions in the year: • HSEQ management training: 751 • Work permits: 578 • Fire safety: 427 • Safe storage: 407 • Hazardous chemicals: 320 • Crisis management: 300 GROUP CERTIFICATION The impact of Jotun’s HSEQ Management System was enhanced in 2016 by its certification in compliance with ISO standards 9001 (quality), 14001 (environment), and 18001 (safety) on a global basis. Previously, each individual site was responsible for managing certification. Jotun’s customers and all stakeholders can now be assured that the Group has attained the optimal benchmark for its HSEQ structure, laying solid foundations for operations and products that are compliant, efficient, safe and of high quality, worldwide. 43 EMPLOYEES AND THE WORKPLACE • Occupational health • Environment • Product safety • Management of change • Security • Emergency preparedness • Quality
