Quality Assurance
Our quality vision
Sustaining Our Commitment to and Leadership in Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE)
As a solutions driven organisation supplying downhole drilling equipment to oil service companies across the world, our strategy is to provide solutions that enable us to exceed our customers´ expectations whilst retaining our leadership in quality, service, health & safety and the environment.
Our proactive QHSE culture ensures that quality, health & safety and environmental considerations remain top priorities for Cutting & Wear’s management and for all our employees.
Minimising the risk of loss from process failure is a recognized, integral part of our continuous improvement process. QHSE activities begin with risk management.
Stringent policies and standards ensure that any losses related to people, assets and processes are addressed. Non-conformances are thoroughly investigated to better understand where we need to improve.
Our QHSE Vision is to:
- Assure the quality and technical integrity of our products and services so that they are fit for purpose and that their functional specifications match the customer´s applications in all instances.
- Communicate effectively with our customers and exceed their expectations. Key to this process is to ask for regular customer feedback on our performance.
- Provide a framework for the setting of QHSE goals and performance objectives through the use of an effective management system.
- Monitor, evaluate and continually improve our QHSE performance through defined operational standards, training, assessments and audits.
- Be fully prepared to respond to any QHSE situation.
- Minimize our impact on the environment through pollution prevention and control of emissions, the efficient use of natural resources and the reduction and recycling of waste.
- Educate our employees, contractors, and business partners in the safe and environmentally responsible use of our products and services and demonstrate how their actions can influence QHSE performance.
- Consult regularly with employees, and others, with regards to Quality, Health & Safety and the Environment.
- Ensure all employees are given the training and resources necessary to meet company requirements.
- Ensure that all suppliers and sub-contractors are selected and monitored on their positive approach and continued commitment to quality and service standards.
