Caverton Marine’s core value of safety is founded on the premise that the health and physical welfare of the people involved in any given activity is of paramount importance. Protecting the environment and our clients’ assets are a natural part of delivering first class.

At the core of our safety philosophy is our Safety Management System, which complies with our obligations under the ISM Code and provides systems and procedures to ensure that hazards are identified, risks are mitigated and accidents prevented. Employees at every level of the organization are responsible for the prevention of job-related injuries and illnesses, property damage, and environmental accidents, through the use of their good judgment and the diligent and consistent application of company guidelines and procedures.

Caverton Marine will at all times do its utmost to minimize any conduct that may endanger or harm the environment. Preventing and minimizing the pollution of the marine environment is our primary objective. To achieve this, we strive to ensure environmentally sound practices from contractors and subcontractors and always maintain and encourage direct access to management in order to report any contravention of our policies.
