Seistech is committed to maintaining a pro-active leadership role within the Geophysical industry to continuously improve the management of Health, Safety and Environmental issues.

• All employees, contractors, subcontractor and suppliers are required, as a condition of employment and contract, to comply with the HSE Policy. Non-compliance with safety rules will be evaluated and may provide grounds for disciplinary action. 

• No person can work under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Any person found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be removed from the job site.

• Laws pertaining to drug and alcohol testing and enforcement may vary in different countries but whatever they may be the company will follow such laws. 

Seistech requires all personnel to use PPE anytime their duties expose them to a possible hazard. All personnel must understand and follow their job description (JD) and the job safety analysis (JSA) for their tasks; considering the Law and all industry and association requirements in force at the time of this policy. 

All Seistech employees must use the proper PPE at all time, in any work area on the crews, even if the risk is not clearly observed. This policy includes all work areas including offices, parking lots, and while in transit between offices and workshops. Exception will apply to recreational, social or private activities: 

• The PPE policy is the same for all Seistech employees, visitors, contractors and clients, regardless of their status or position. No person can visit or stay without PPE in a place where PPE is mandatory. 

• Anyone involved with crew activities must wear appropriate clothing at all time, with consideration and respect to the local customs of all other people, including crew members and communities. 

• The Crew Management and the persons at the Safety Department must make plans to ensure that appropriate PPE is available and that personnel are properly trained for the proper use of the PPE. 

• Each employee is responsible for utilizing the PPE according to the JSA and must stop work if the proper PPE is not available or in bad condition, reporting immediately to his/her supervisor or the Safety Department. 

• PPE policy implementation must be evaluated in every inspection and audit. 

Seistech has a moral and legal responsibility to train all employees and contractors to work safely.
