Safety & HSE

Road transport is the highest-frequency risk your people face.

Ground movement is where most energy-sector personnel are most exposed, most often. We manage it as a controlled activity, with the same evidence trail you would expect on any other part of your operation.

Accountable

Our HSE framework is written by a practising HSE manager.

Cliffton Joseph advises Cunnectly on health, safety and environment. He holds 13+ years of HSSE leadership across energy, construction, infrastructure and telecommunications, and is currently HSE Compliance and Assurance Manager at Lindsayca Guyana, working on Guyana's Gas-to-Energy project.

His day job is auditing contractor HSSE performance. The screening gates, fatigue controls and journey management standards on this page were written by someone who spends his working week judging whether contractors like us actually meet them.

Driver standard

Nobody drives for a client account until every box is signed off.

Screening is a gate, not a formality. A driver who has not cleared all six is not eligible for deployment.

01

Background verification

Identity, licence validity and traffic-violation history checked before onboarding.

02

Drug and alcohol testing

Pre-deployment and recurring, in accordance with the contract agreement.

03

Defensive driving

Certified training completed before a driver is assigned to any client account.

04

First Aid / CPR / AED

Certified, with refresher training scheduled and recorded.

05

Minimum experience

Five years of professional driving experience as the deployment standard.

06

Client approval

You review the driver profile and approve the assignment before the driver is rostered.

Fatigue management

The risk that gets written into the roster, not the incident report.

Driver fatigue in crew transport is a scheduling problem before it is a behavioural one. Long shift patterns, early starts and back-to-back assignments produce fatigue reliably, and no amount of driver briefing removes it.

We build work schedules against workload rather than availability, hold to the rest and meal break standards set by Guyana's labour laws, and distribute assignments so that hours are shared rather than concentrated on whoever says yes. Shift and hours data is retained, so the fatigue plan can be audited rather than asserted.

Telematics hours-of-service data is reconciled against the roster, which means a driver exceeding the plan is visible in the system rather than at the end of the month.

Controls in place

  • Documented fatigue management plan, monitored against actual shifts
  • Rest and meal breaks to Guyana labour law standards
  • Equitable assignment distribution across the driver pool
  • Hours-of-service data retained and reconciled to roster
  • Adequate daily driver coverage contracted per client scope

In-vehicle monitoring

What we watch while the vehicle is moving.

Speed and harsh-event monitoring

Speeding, harsh braking, harsh cornering and rapid acceleration are scored per driver and reviewed against the safe-driving standard.

Geofencing

Route corridors and permitted zones are defined per contract, with alerts on departure from the approved corridor.

Dashcam coverage

Forward-facing footage retained and made available to the client for quality assurance and incident investigation.

Journey management

Trips are planned, authorised and monitored, with night-driving and long-distance movements treated as elevated risk.

Emergency response

Roadside support across the operational zone.

Vehicles carry a first aid kit, fire extinguisher and recovery tool kit as standard, and every driver holds current First Aid/CPR/AED certification — which matters most in the first ten minutes, before anyone else arrives.

For mechanical events, we are registering and screening workshops within the operational zone for roadside assistance, selecting on competence and response capability. Because our driver and vendor network is distributed across Guyana rather than concentrated in Georgetown, a replacement vehicle is generally closer to the incident than a depot would be.
