Element 13 - Assessment, Assurance & Improvement:
We will periodically assess the implementation of and compliance with these Expectations
to assure ourselves and stakeholders that management processes are in place and
working effectively. This will involve both internal self-assessments, and appropriate
external assessments. We will use this information to improve our performance and
processes.

The workforce is actively involved in periodic self-assessments of the effectiveness
of processes and procedures to meet the HSE Expectations.

continually delivering consistent, desired performance. Based on the review, new
risk-based targets are considered and established wherever necessary.
