At De Opslagloods B.V, ensuring the highest standards of occupational health and safety, facility security, and environmental protection is our foremost priority. We are dedicated to creating a safe and secure workplace for our employees, stakeholders, and the communities we serve. Our comprehensive safety programs are designed to prevent accidents, promote well-being, and maintain optimal working conditions. In addition, we implement robust security measures to safeguard our facilities and assets, ensuring a secure environment for all. We are also committed to environmental stewardship. Our initiatives focus on minimizing our ecological footprint, promoting sustainability, and protecting the natural resources that are vital to our planet.

Compliance and Corporate Policy
Our commitment to safety and environmental protection is woven into the fabric of our corporate policy. We align with group-wide environmental and safety policies, which are formally documented in a dedicated company policy. This ensures that all business processes affecting quality, the environment, occupational safety, and facility security are meticulously planned, controlled, and monitored.
Incident Reporting and Analysis
We utilize our comprehensive incident database to capture and document any incidents that negatively impact safety, the environment, or our service delivery. Each incident—including accidents, near-misses, unsafe behaviors, and conditions—is systematically analyzed to prevent recurrence and enhance our practices. If necessary, we issue HSSE alerts to inform relevant sites and communicate crucial information to our employees and stakeholders.
Employee Training and Development
A cornerstone of ensuring safe and environmentally conscious operations is the training and development of our workforce. All new employees, contractors, and visitors receive comprehensive instruction on HSSE topics prior to beginning work or arriving at our facilities. By empowering our team members with knowledge and resources, we cultivate a culture of safety and environmental awareness at De Opslagloods B.V Terminal.
Integrated Management System
Central to our safety efforts is the development and maintenance of an integrated management system. This system documents and continuously improves our processes, ensuring that we uphold the highest standards of safety and environmental responsibility.
Monitoring and Assessment
To measure and manage our compliance with safety standards and to evaluate the effectiveness of our safety initiatives, we conduct regular internal audits. Detailed HSSE statistics, including leading and lagging indicators, are compiled to track our performance.
