In addition to our preventive approach, Polaris implements structured risk control measures designed to minimize hazards and protect the well-being of employees and contractors across all operations.
Key elements of our risk management framework include:
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Employees are provided with PPE appropriate to their tasks and risk exposure to ensure safe working conditions.
- Safety Training and Awareness: Regular safety talks and training sessions reinforce technical knowledge, strengthen hazard awareness, and support proactive risk management.
- Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA): We apply the HIRA methodology to develop structured risk and hazard identification matrices for operational activities, helping ensure consistent safety procedures across our sites.
- Pre-Task Safety Controls: Supervisors prepare and review documentation such as work permits, Safe Work Analyses (SWAs), and operational checklists before activities begin.
- Incident and Hazard Reporting: Employees are encouraged to report incidents, near misses, and unsafe conditions, supporting timely corrective actions and reinforcing a culture of shared responsibility.
- Operational Inspections: Regular inspections of key operational areas help identify and address potential risks before incidents occur.
These practices are supported by Polarisā Integrated Management System and Sustainability Statement, which provide a structured framework for managing risks related to electricity, machinery operation, working at heights, lifting activities, confined spaces, and occupational health.
Through these measures, Polaris continues to strengthen its safety culture and maintain a proactive approach to risk management across all operations.
