Health and safety

Working with hazardous liquids on a daily basis, safety is the main priority at NewPort. Our well-maintained fleet and highly trained personnel are equipped to meet all safety standards, mitigating potential risks and safeguarding the environment in which we operate.

We cultivate a culture of safety with clear expectations and guidelines for our employees, but also for our customers, suppliers and partners. We encourage ownership throughout all layers of the organization and actively report any safety concerns. Likewise, we conduct regular safety audits to identify hazards and improve the processes within our operations.
We have established key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure our safety performance, and we closely check this progress. Our data analysts analyze this data for identifying trends and potential opportunities for improvement. It goes without saying that we ensure compliance with all health and safety standards and regulations. We prioritized hazardous materials, fire safety, and emergency preparedness.
