Thinking following and complying with international standards
Operating in remote and challenging areas of the region creates health and safety challenges which Larsa takes seriously in all its operations—conducting comprehensive risk assessments and implementing practical control measures to minimize risk as much as possible. Larsa follows international safety and occupational health standards. Larsa Country Management is responsible for ensuring that the safety process, practice structure, equipment supervision, and training are in place to protect clients and employees from a workplace injury or illness. Before starting any job, all personnel undergo Stop & Think risk assessments. As a result, all Larsa personnel realize how important it is to work in a safe environment, with minimized risk and protocols that put lives and safety first.
Larsa considers the protection of the environment as a critical factor when implementing new projects. The aim is to conserve biodiversity and promote sustainable development in the regions it operates in by protecting the local people, minimizing harm to the local environment and working in cooperation with local communities. Therefore, operations are set up with a green priority adopting policies to mitigate the impact on the environment and set the necessary Key Environmental Performance Indicators.
