Safety underpins everything we do at Hotspot Group. We have put a significant investment into the modern technology and infrastructure to ensure we have the capacity to meet all our client’s requirement. Our goal is to continue to improve so as to provide our customers with products that are of the highest quality, safe and environmentally responsible. For these reasons we have introduced an Integrated Quality Management System covering all operational processes and procedures in order to provide the best service possible. Our Quality Management System will be reviewed on a regular basis and will ensure the effectiveness and suitability of the system.

As an engineering and technology-based company we understand the potential risks involved in the work we undertake and as such we have a strong commitment to ensuring that the standards of health, safety and welfare of our people and community we practice are up to global standards and industry best practices. Our Health and Safety Policy outlines the commitments we make to promote and maintain a high standard of health and safety within the company.

Safety and Security management within Hotspot Group extends well beyond the traditional area of site security to personnel, information and supply chain security. We have put robust rules and standards in place to ensure our people feel safe to work and the information we produce is protected. Emergency preparedness and business continuity are also vitally important for all our stakeholders, including our employees, our customers and the communities within which we operate.  Our health efforts demonstrate our commitment to prevent harm and to protect our people from heath related issues. We work closely with relevant government agencies and in accordance with particular government guidelines for specific issues especially with the recent COVID-19 Pandemic. As part of our efforts to ensure the health and wellbeing of all our people, we:

• recognise, control and monitor health hazards at work to ensure safe and healthy working environments
• provide appropriate health assessments
• support staff on sick leave and those returning to work
• provide health information and education on relevant public health issues
• set standards and provide input for training on safe working practices
• provide comprehensive occupational health resources.

We acknowledge our responsibility to the environment and have integrated a robust compliance system in our overall operations. There is an ongoing commitment to continually seek to improve our environmental performance and reduce the impact of our activities on the environment wherever possible. As part or environmental policy, we will

• comply with all relevant legal requirements and industry standards, and cooperate fully with the authorities in the development of such laws, regulations and industry codes of practice
• maintain an environmentally sound workplace in all our sites and locations by assessing and effectively managing the risks arising from our activities, products and services through the application of best operating practice

We have a responsibility to protect the environment. As a consequence, resource-saving solutions forms the core of our operational considerations. We strive to find the right balance between economic and ecological factors in business as especially as it relates to technology and energy.
