1) QHSE-MS

The business success of Ouais Group depends on our ability to continually improve the quality of our services while protecting people and the environment.

We envision a quality and service culture that enables us to exceed customer expectations and actively involve and empower all employees in the continuous improvement process.

The Ouais Group main value is that:

“Our people, their motivation and dedication to customers service, in a safe and clean environment, are our main asset” .

The Ouais Group senior and line management recognizes the need for QHSE risk management and are committed to achieve high QHSE standards. This commitment is in the best interests of our customers, our employees and those in the communities in which we operate and live.

The Ouais Group QHSE Management System defines the Ouais Group policy, philosophy, principles and program structure by which we conduct our operations with regard to the quality of our services; the health and safety of our customers, employees, contractors and communities where we work; and the protection of the environment where we operate and live in.

The QHSE Management System (QHSE-MS) program is developed throughout the Ouais Group 's organization as part of our normal planning cycle and reflects the different responsibilities of the various management levels. This program shall be regularly reviewed and controlled by the Ouais Group 's Management.

The Manual model is structured based on the OGP model and is in full compliance to BSI – OHSAS 18001:1999, which is the accepted industry standard.

The QHSE Management System model comprises of six (6) interrelated components, which are:

• Commitment and Leadership (Including Policies & Objectives)
• Organization, Responsibilities and Resources
• Risk Management
• Planning and Procedures
• Implementation and Monitoring
• Assessment and Continuous Improvement

These main 6 components are continuously improved by conformance checks:

• On day-to-day standards and procedures (controls),
• On the management system (correction),
• And through modifications to the Management System (improvement).

2) EMS

The adoption of a unified management system that addresses the Environmental element of our QHSE-MS system is a strategic decision of Ouais Group Management.

A proactive approach to Environmental Management and Protection is good business. It leads to greater efficiency; a more healthful workplace; and reduced accidents, pollution and waste. This produces value for our clients, employees, and the communities where we work and live in.

The purpose of this Environmental Management System (EMS) is to describe how Ouais Group demonstrates its commitment to protecting the environment with compliance to the ISO–14001:1996 standard.

The EMS is considered as an extension arm to the QHSE Management System. And is developed similar in structure to the QHSE-MS Manual to ensure the ease understanding of our employees to the system. In addition, it completes the QHSE Management System (QHSE-MS) so that the E (Environment) element is fully integrated into the QHSE–MS.
