Our Approach

Home  >  About Us  >  Our Approach

We are committed to operating in a fair and ethical manner that is transparent, and above all else, safe and sustainable

These core values underpin our approach and are fundamental to achieving best practice and maintaining the trust and loyalty of our employees, clients, technology partners, suppliers and the communities in which we operate.

We are committed to the sustainable development of our business through effective management of the health and safety of our people and being environmentally responsible.

We continually review and revise our business systems and processes to ensure that we are consistently delivering the highest quality products and services.
And we carefully monitor the sectors in which we operate to ensure we’re at the forefront of innovation and service delivery.

Safety

Keeping people safe is our absolute priority. At Aerison, we believe everyone has a right to return home safely every day, as well as a duty to take care of themselves and those around them. We aim to create a zero harm workplace with no significant incidents across all operations and projects, despite the often-difficult conditions in which we operate.

Our people are empowered to stop the job. All employees or contractors are personally responsible and authorised to stop work if they feel unsafe. We also have a management commitment and will respond to any situation where safety is raised as an issue.

Aerison has identified that leadership, mentoring and training are key elements to encourage continuous improvement within our industry and surrounding the works we complete. To support this, we have a detailed critical risk management program and accompanying leadership team audits and inspection regimes to demonstrate our commitment to workplace health and safety.

Enhancing safety culture

Communication is critical to achieving our health and safety goals and it’s important that everyone understands our approach and feels empowered to play their part. The communication process commences when an individual starts employment with Aerison and is given the opportunity to make a personal commitment to:

  • Educating and building a strong performance-based safety culture.
  • Giving clear guidelines on the Hierarchy of Control.
  • Highlighting examples of good practice.
  • Complying with policies and procedures.
Health and wellbeing

We understand the importance of workplace health and wellbeing together with all aspects of working life, from the quality and safety of the physical environment, to how workers feel about their work, the climate they work in and the organisation they work for.

To support this, Aerison has invested in a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that is dedicated to helping our employees with issues related to health and wellbeing. We also provide training for Mental Health First Aiders, who are able to support and promote the educational material available to our people.

Environment

Aerison recognises that effective environmental management is essential to ensuring a cleaner environment for our future generations

We understand both the importance of environmental conservation and respecting the communities in which we work and our responsibility to manage the works we carry out.

We are committed to reducing waste, pollution and delivering environmental operational excellence on every project we deliver.

Our certified environmental management system enables us to identify and manage the aspects and impacts of the works we complete and provide clear and precise controls to minimise risk. These processes are delivered by our experienced HSE and Operational teams and allows us to strive for continuous improvement.

Aerison proactively encourages environmental awareness and responsibility to all employees, contractors and suppliers so that through our business activities we reduce the impact of industry on the environment. Our environmental management system is certified to ISO 14001 Environmental Standard.

  • We make a positive contribution to the protection of the environment
  • We go beyond compliance with local environmental regulation to meet internationally accepted best practice
  • We strive to minimise any adverse effects of our operations on the environment to the greatest extent possible.
