Health (H), Safety (S), Security(S), Environment (E) are disciplines about implementing environmental protection and safety at construction sites. In simple terms, it is what construction organizations must do to make sure that their activities do not cause harm to workers and the environment.

First of all, the safety aspect identifies workplace hazards and reduces accidents and harmful substances. It also includes training of personnel in accident prevention, accident response, emergency preparation and use of protective clothing and equipment.

Secondly, the health aspect includes safe, high quality, and environmentally friendly processes to prevent or reduce the risk of harm to people such as drug and alcohol policy.

Thirdly, with the  security aspect, every construction site is different in location, environmental factors and needs, but in order to guarantee security, there are common factors for fundamental security such as physical security, operational security and changes across each phase of work.

Finally, the environmental aspect involves creating a systematic approach to comply with environmental regulations, such as managing waste to help sites reduce carbon or no smoking policy for workers.

For MEC, Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) standards are fundamental to all that we have done. Every individual in MEC, whatever his or her responsibilities, is trained to understand the importance of HSSE and to take personal responsibility for it. Health and safety are particularly focused in our site operations where we apply a series of measures. Our company always has project specific HSSE plan for each project site. We assigned a competent senior manager who is responsible for establishing and maintaining quality process to ensure compliance of administrative and operational procedures. Everyone is given health and safety briefings in weekly meetings. Hazard management is our strong focus, everyone working on MEC construction sites has an obligation to stop unsafe acts. Our engineers have received trainings and Health and Safety Management certifications. Only assigned personnel are allowed in some certain working areas and operate high-voltage equipment, etc.

In order to fulfill social responsibility and achieve continued pursuit of profits, MEC is committed to provide a safe, secure and healthy working environment, protect the environment. We have developed a Principle for Health, Safety, Security, Environment (HSSE) which ensures that each department of MEC works with high standards for health care, safety, security and environmental protection. We promote awareness of HSSE working practices for all employees even freshman, contractors and associates who come in contact with our business in every MEP projects with HSSE to create high quality projects for customers.
