HSE Services
HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT - A KEY FACTOR FOR CONFIDENCE
Why are HSE Services important for the market?
In all industrial sectors - including energy, manufacturing, construction, transportation, and logistics - HSE compliance is not only a legal obligation but also a key factor for operational resilience and stakeholder confidence.
Organizations must comply with:
- Greek Labor Law and HSE regulatory framework (Ν. 3850/2010, Π.Δ. 17/96, Π.Δ. 159/99, ΚΥΑ 12044/613/2007)
- EU Framework Directive 89/391/EEC and related occupational safety directives
- SEVESO III Directive (2012/18/EU) for hazardous industries
- ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management)
- Environmental permitting legislation (Law 4014/2011 and related ΚΥΑs)
- REACH & CLP Regulations for chemical safety.
A robust HSE strategy reduces incidents, ensures legal compliance, and promotes sustainable operations.
