Our Safety commitments

SYSTRA is synonymous with operational excellence, and there is no operational excellence without the mobilization of our employees, partners and clients to ensure the health, safety and security of:

  • the public, by proposing clean, reliable and safe transport systems, utilities and buildings
  • our colleagues, contractors, and operators, by offering a working environment, equipment, organization and know-how enabling work with complete peace of mind and confidence.

SYSTRA’s innovative HSS approach consists of 3 components

 A simplification of our management system, our processes and our procedures.

It is essential that each employee finds meaning in and personifies the company’s HSS vision. The ambition that motivates us goes far beyond the  ‘zero accident’ doctrine. It is no longer about adding rules each time there is a new incident but about putting in place managerial routines that are proactive, simple, mature and effective for ensuring operational excellence on a daily basis in all that we do.

A positive redefinition of health, safety and security.

The traditional approach limits HSS to the management of risks: Do what is necessary to ensure that as little as possible goes badly. SYSTRA has decided to translate health, safety and security into opportunities that contribute to the operational performance of the company: Do what is necessary to ensure that as much as possible goes well. This initiative makes sense for our teams, our partners and our clients, who are increasingly aware that HSS is transforming our company in a positive way.

Concrete acts of leadership.

At SYSTRA, the health, safety and security of the public, transport industry actors and our colleagues is a moral responsibility. To be a reference company and contribute to a safer world, the involvement of managers is essential. It is via their daily commitment to HSS, via their ability to set an example by having a ‘safety attitude’ that all our colleagues will share these common values. Safety is everyone’s business, and everyone is committed to ensuring it on a daily basis.
