Safety pays in Jervoise Bay
09 Oct 2008
Flanders Dredging Corporation (FDC), a fully owned subsidiary of Belgium's Jan De Nul Group, has transformed praise from a strict Australian client into victory when its project at the Australian Marine Complex located in Jervoise Bay, Western Australia was awarded this year's IADC Safety Award.
Flanders Dredging Corporation has won this year's IADC Safety Award for the Jan De Nul Group.
The IADC Safety Award is presented annually to an IADC member company, project or vessel crew which demonstrates exceptional safety performance. The IADC Board qualified the safety performance of the project as outstanding, especially considering the limited execution time of two months, which allowed little room for adaptations during the project.
To ensure safety during project execution, the client appointed an external entity to conduct three audits: Occupational Safety and Health Suitability Audit; Occupational Safety and Health Compliance Audit; and Site Safety Survey Report. During these audits, zero non-compliances were reported, no non-conformities were registered and the project was executed without a single lost-time injury.
