Health, Safety & Environment

"Safety is not a policy document at Seventeenth March. It is a culture actively enforced at every site, every day, without exception."

The safety and wellbeing of our people, our clients, our subcontractors, and the communities within which we operate are not negotiable considerations they are absolute priorities. Seventeenth March Nig. Ltd. operates under a comprehensive, actively enforced Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Policy that governs conduct across all project sites, offices, and operational environments.

We recognise that a safe site is not only a more productive site it is a more ethical site. Our HSE framework is designed to prevent incidents before they occur, respond swiftly and effectively when they do, and continuously improve our safety culture through learning, training, and accountability.
