Safe working conditions
Building Site Regulations
The Building Site Regulations for contractors when performing work form part of every contract Fluxys signs with a contractor. It offers them a way to inform their employees and subcontractors and self-employed staff they use about the risks involved and the safety measures that need to be taken.
Specific safety measures applying to work near natural gas facilities
Specific safety measures apply to work near natural gas facilities. Fluxys does everything to ensure safe working conditions on its sites and near pipelines for its own workforce and its contractors’ and subcontractors’ employees.
Safety clauses applying to the supply of goods and services
If necessary, Fluxys adds safety clauses to an order. These clauses inform suppliers of legal regulations and additional conditions they have to meet. They also provide details of the documents (certificates, manuals, instructions, etc.) the supplier must provide when goods and/or services are supplied.
Mandatory safety training
Fluxys safety certificate – All contractor employees performing work on Fluxys sites must hold a Fluxys safety certificate.
