included to ensure that similar occurrences do not take place at
other Jotun sites. The case studies are shared throughout the
network, demonstrating the Group approach to a continual
process of learning and improvement.
Zero tolerance
In an industrial environment characterised by the use of
chemicals, including solvents, fires pose the greatest threat
for Jotun operations. As such, Jotun follows a zero tolerance
policy whereby every incident and potential incident is fully
documented and investigated to learn from experiences and
build expertise. This complements a structured fire prevention
programme that includes thermographic surveys of sites, fire
risk assessments, regular inspections of fire fighting systems,
and continual training and e-learning initiatives.
Maintaining standards
The HSEQ Management System is firmly established and a rolling
cycle of audits will ensure that optimal standards are maintained.
Each site will be audited once every three years, with the option
of prioritising those where greater risk potential is identified.
In 2018, a total of 10 HSEQ audits were conducted, with a
further 11 planned for 2019.
Further developments in 2018
E-learning – introduction of new e-learning modules within
‘working permits’, reducing the likelihood of accidents while
undertaking high-risk, non-routine work.
Waste – A further reduction of hazardous and non-hazardous
waste per tonne of produced product was achieved.
