Health, Safety, Quality & Environment: Our Approach
At INTEC Energy Solutions, HSQE is not just a compliance activity, it is a strategic pillar of our identity as a trusted EPC partner in the global energy transition. Operating across diverse geographies and complex project conditions, we understand that world-class execution begins with world-class safety. We know that long-term success in the global energy transition requires not only safe and sustainable operations but also consistent, high-quality outcomes that meet and exceed client expectations. That is why HSQE is embedded into every stage of our projects from concept to commissioning, and from operations to continuous improvement.
Integration Across All Projects
In every Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project we deliver, our HSQE commitment is embedded from concept to commissioning. This commitment is aligned with global frameworks such as ISO 45001 and tailored to meet or exceed client expectations.
- Safety always comes before business objectives.
- Every environmental impact must be mitigated.
- Every voice that raises concern will always matter.
- Every project must deliver quality that meets or exceeds expectations.
Our HSQE Culture - What Sets INTEC Apart?
HSQE excellence is not a static achievement, it is a dynamic culture built every day, on every site, with every decision and stakeholder. This culture is shaped not only by rules and standards, but also by a set of core elements ranging from leadership to planning, from global alignment to local implementation, and from employee engagement to continuous learning.
Here are the key strengths of INTEC’s HSQE strategy
Visible, Accountable Leadership at Every Level
At INTEC, leadership in HSQE is not delegated, it is personally owned and publicly demonstrated. Our executive team integrates HSQE into strategic planning, investment decisions, and operational oversight. Field leaders and project managers are held measurably accountable for safety outcomes through structured KPIs and direct engagement with operational risks and quality outcomes.
We foster a culture where leaders:
- Conduct site visits and engage in safety dialogues with frontline teams
- Actively participate in incident reviews and HSQE governance forums
- Prioritize HSQE equally with cost, quality, and time across project lifecycles
- Empower employees to speak up and act when safety is at stake
Integrated HSQE Planning from Day One
HSQE is embedded into the earliest stages of project development from engineering design to procurement and execution strategy. Every INTEC project is governed by a bespoke HSQE Plan aligned with client expectations, contractual requirements, and jurisdictional standards.
We conduct risk assessments, HAZID sessions, and constructability reviews with multidisciplinary input to proactively eliminate hazards before they materialize. We design for safety, quality, and sustainability from the start. Every project is guided by a bespoke Project HSE Plan and Quality Management Plan aligned with client expectations, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001.
Our project delivery model ensures:
- Safety engineering is a design criterion not a downstream constraint
- Method statements and work permits are designed to reflect real-world risks, covering safety as well as quality requirements.
- Clients are engaged early to align project HSQE expectations and culture
Global Standards with Local Ownership
Our Integrated Management System (IMS) aligns with ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 45001 (OH&S), and ISO 14001 (Environment), while adapting to local regulatory frameworks and community needs. This dual alignment ensures world-class practices with local accountability.
Key actions include:
- Deploying local HSQE professionals supported by central expertise
- Conducting regulatory and community risk assessments before mobilization
- Collaborating with clients, authorities, and partners for seamless implementation
Empowered Workforce Engaged Culture
We recognize that quality and safety are built by people. Our people are both the first line of defense and our greatest strength. Every INTEC and subcontractor employee is provided with the skills, knowledge, and authority to take ownership of safety and quality. Through structured onboarding, daily briefings, near-miss reporting, and recognition programs, we cultivate a proactive safety culture across all project teams.
We reinforce this by:
- Ensuring Stop Work Authority is a mandatory and protected right
- Encouraging peer-to-peer accountability and open safety feedback
- Delivering continuous training in risk awareness, and emergency response
- Recognition programs celebrating proactive contributions to safety, environment, and quality
Transparency, Learning, and Continual Improvement
We view every incident, observation, and audit finding as an opportunity to improve. Our culture promotes open reporting without blame, and each event is carefully investigated to ensure lessons are shared across the entire organization.
We strengthen this commitment by:
- Enabling cross-project learning and best practice sharing
- Maintaining a lessons-learned register accessible to all teams
- Regularly reviewing and refining our management systems
- Incorporating client feedback and third-party audit results into our strategy
