At DELCO, we are committed to developing a safe, healthy, and transparent working environment. All activities on the construction site strictly adhere to regulations of labor protection, fire prevention, and environmental sanitation, as required by the Investor and DELCO’s HSE policy.
Health – Safety – Environment (HSE) plays a vital role in the construction management process. As a Design – Build Contractor with nearly twenty years of experience in building high-quality factories, DELCO always understands that:
.
Safety in construction: any mistake or carelessness, even the smallest, can seriously affect the project’s schedule and costs, and even human injuries and fatalities.
Environmental hygiene: since it is impossible to completely eliminate factors such as noise and dust during construction, the contractor needs to have effective plans to minimize environmental impact on neighboring areas.
Risks can occur at any time, so the entire DELCO staff and workers must strictly comply with regulations of labor safety, fire prevention, and environmental protection to ensure safe and quality construction processes.
