“We are always looking for great ways to develop and raise up our people”

Safety

Safety first is paramount with everything we do at Chemgas. Our vessels are well maintained, the newest additions are equipped according to the latest techniques and all vessels are being operated to the latest standard in terms of safety. This alone, however, does not suffice. Also our employees have a crucial role in Chemgas being able to guarantee safety.

The safety awareness within our organization is high. Safety of people and the environment comes first, we all realise that. Our safety policy is deeply rooted into our organization and it is being supported by everyone working with Chemgas. We see to it that everyone takes its responsibilities in this respect. The importance of being compliant to laws and regulations and the adherence to our own safety rules is known to all employees within the company.

Our employees have the proper knowledge and skills to perform their duties. By offering training and education, we promote safety on board of our vessels. We also provide all necessary safety tools and we encourage our people to share experiences amongst each other. Our ultimate goal is to exclude any personal injury and to protect our environment.
