We want to be among the best!

A useful tool for your working day

Malthus is an ambitious employer. We want to inspire each
other and work together as a team each and every day. We
want strong focus on health, safety, the environment and
quality to ensure a good working environment, with healthy
and safe workplaces.
We will improve, always
You will find detailed information in the form of reports and
documents in Antenor, but it is important that our established
regulations and routines do not become laurels to rest on. In
proper Malthus spirit and in line with our values, applicable
laws and regulations, we all represent Malthus, and we will
seek to achieve continuous improvement in our handling of
the following issues:
Once you have read this handbook, you will know what we
expect from you and what you should expect from the man-
agement in terms of HSE. We want Malthus to be an excellent
place to work, and our vision is zero accidents and undesired
incidents. If you make a commitment in your working day,
every day will bring us closer to our goal.
Important! Take two steps back and think before you act
It is never wrong to notify your supervisor if you feel uncertain
in a work situation. It is never wrong to report an undesired
incident.
Thank you for being a committed employee and colleague!

Definitions:
HSE is short for Health, Safety and the Environment.
But what is our definition of these three words?
Health means we must focus on preventing any work-related
illnesses, short-term or long-term. It also means that nobody
must be exposed to chemicals or harmful radiation at work.
Safety means that everybody should be able to perform their
daily duties without being exposed to danger. Many work
tasks involve a certain degree of risk. Malthus has drawn up
a set of rules and safety instructions that everybody must
follow.
The Environment refers to three important areas:
1) Your working environment. Whether you work in an
office, or in a factory or workshop, or outdoors on building
sites, etc., it is important that your working conditions are
good, that things are kept clean and tidy and that you are not
exposed unnecessarily to noise and dust.
2) Psychosocial working environment. Everybody should
look forward to going to work. We want people to enjoy work-
ing for us and to have a safe working environment. Bullying
or harassment is completely unacceptable and will not be
tolerated.
3) The external environment. Malthus will not cause any
damage or pollution. We will also recycle as much as possible.

Different roles within HSE
You are ultimately responsible for yourself and your own safe-
ty. As a Malthus employee, you are expected to contribute
to creating a healthy and safe working environment both for
yourself and your colleagues. You must wear personal protec-
tive equipment, stop a work operation if you feel it is hazard-
ous and give notification if you see something that is or could
become dangerous.
Your immediate supervisor has an HSE responsibility for you.
This means that he or she must facilitate working conditions
and ensure that you are not exposed to danger during your
working day.
The supervisor must assess the risk elements in the work that
is planned. He or she must ensure that a Safe Job Analysis
(SJA) is carried out with the involved parties when and as
necessary.
In addition to your supervisor, there are several other players
involved in the working environment and our methodical work
to improve all aspects of health, safety and the environment.
These are defined as follows: the Employer, Employee, Safety
Delegate, the Working Environment Committee (AMU), the
Occupational Health Service and the Labour Inspection
Authority. If you have any questions about who does what at
your workplace, ask your supervisor.
The Safety Delegate is the employee representative in HSE
issues, and a go-to person for all concerned.
