BR Marine Energy Ltd is committed to acting as a socially responsible company in those regions where our company and staff are operating. This means that we will go further by continually evaluating our business practices using the principle of sustainability. At the heart of sustainability lies the desire to maintain a balance between the economic, environmental and social needs of our world today without compromising the opportunities of future generations. We want our company to always be associated with a respect for human rights, safe work conditions, and environmentally sound business practices, for our own organization and those with whom we partner.
We strive to understand and respect the cultural values wherever we operate. In many countries and regions where our company is active β we prefer to employ local and native employees, and as a result, in many locations our company is recognized as an indigenous business entity. Our employees and management communicate extensively with the communities in whose areas we operate. This is a responsibility we take seriously and it equally provides us with an opportunity to be a positive force for local good. In all our operations β often in hostile and challenging environments β we aim, wherever possible, to use our core competencies to help tackle local community issues where we can make a positive difference.
A critical success factor for BR Marine Energy Ltd has been effective cross-cultural communication and collaboration. We recognize that as our client's chosen Maritime Logistics and Vessel support management and Agency partner we must ensure that outstanding results are consistently achieved through the cross-culture flow of best practices, knowledge, learning and expertise.

Many of our offices, around the world, lie in areas of highly distinct national and regional cultures. As well as different languages, there are also clear differences in strategic and operational business practices across Nigeria, which is where a large part of our business is transacted. There is one common denominator that binds all our offices together, and that is the well communicated management directives (including our code of conduct) and coordination of our activities through BR Marine Energy Ltd's global sales and operations office.
A Near Miss Reported Today Will Prevent an Injury Tomorrow!
Everyone has an OBLIGATION to report all Near Misses
It is our policy and expectation that all Near Misses will be reported immediately. All Near Misses are investigated by the Safety Department and a risk assessment is conducted in order to mitigate any future reoccurrence. Significant Near Misses are shared with all crew by a Safety Alert. Captains share learnings with crew members during the safety stand down in order to prevent the incident from occurring on their vessel.
BRL had expanded Near Miss reporting and encouraged more participation by giving away an embroidered BRL jacket each quarter for the best Near Miss. In less than a year Near Miss reporting increased 357 percent compared to the previous year. BRL will continue giving away the jackets and has a goal of increasing Near Miss reporting by another 10 percent.
The Job Safety Analysis planning tool is a simple, organized approach to:
Time-Out empowers any person with the authority and responsibility to stop a job when any hazard is identified. Should any person on board our facility perceive that a situation may be unsafe or otherwise hazardous in any way, that person is responsible for calling a Time-Out to interrupt the work process. Activity shall recommence only when a plan is implemented to mitigate the hazard.
The Permit to Work ensures compliance with mandatory controls when performing potentially hazardous and high-risk work. The permit authorizes and highlights that appropriate health, safety, quality, operational, training, emergency response, environmental procedures and equipment are used. A written permit is prepared, discussed and approved by the Offshore Installation Manager (OIM) and the process is monitored and managed until the permitted work is properly completed.
