Community Affairs, Security, Health, Environment and Safety (CASHES) policy: This is a policy which is committed to avoiding injury to an individual and the preservation of the health and safety of employees and any other persons, who may at any time, be affected by the activities of a particular organisation; and also conducting its operation in a manner that provides optimum protection to the environment. CASHES policy is an integral part of any Company’s or Organisational activities and responsibilities. It is applicable to all Employees; Client representatives, Subcontractors, Suppliers and any third parties involved in the Company’s operations. The compliance with cashes policy is a condition of employment and the responsibility of each employee. CASHES policy addresses issues in respect of the health of the individual and in respect of the environment by the execution of safe and efficient operations.
Any company adopting cashes policy will provide training to all its employees to operate in a safe and conducive manner. CASHES policy is built on a ‘No Blame’ culture, whereby a particular company is more concerned with recognizing and minimizing risks and hazards than looking for scapegoats and culprits. If noticing an unsafe act, situation or hazard, an individual is expected to rectify the situation, report accordingly or if appropriate, stop the operation. Every employee of the Company or Organisation carries this responsibility of the Company’s commitment to Health, Safety, Security, and the Environment and is expected to show dedication to it. However, the managing director of the organisation carries the ultimate responsibility for CASHES policy because managers are also appraised on the basis of their CASHES performance.
