• to attain optimal organisational structure and transparency of business operations;
• to operate in accordance with applicable regulations; and
• to exercise permanent control over the economic aspects of business to ensure successful
performance.
The objectives set for 2012 have been achieved. We continued with the works regarding
preparation of unified rules of procedure of the HSE Group. Certain system procedures
were amended and supplemented. The management system documentation was
integrated into the ODOS computerised document system. Training for the employees in
the area of management systems were carried out. We performed a recertification audit
for ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/IEC 27001:2005, and regular audit for ISO 14001:2004 and
OHSAS 18001:2007.
In the previous year, we successfully completed the internal audit, management review
and external audit of the RES production compliance with criteria EE, EE+ and Eenew TÜV
SÜD and the RECS compliance for the HPP chains at DEM, SENG and HESS. In 2012, Eenew
(Certificate for production of E-RES in new HPPs of less than 12 years) was added.
2.5.2 Achieving environmental
management objectives
The HSE Group is an environmentally conscious group of companies, which provide their
employees with pleasant and healthy working environment and foster good relations
with their neighbours. They are implementing the principle of sustainable development
on a local and national level, and their goal is constant improvement of working and living
conditions of employees and people living in their vicinity. The companies’ environmental
policy is in line with the requirements of ISO 14001:2004 standard.
In 2012, we carried out internal and external assessment of compliance with ISO
14001 standard in the area of environmental protection. The key objective of the HSE
Group’s environmental policy is to establish a permanent balance, which is achieved by
implementing preventive measures, avoiding any environmental contamination, sharing
responsibility and including environmental management in individual operating processes.
Four environment programmes were prepared for 2012. We carried out the programme
‘Summary of Terms of reference ToR 2 (9 th Book)’ describing the methods of CO 2
storage
and potential storage locations in Slovenia.
The study ‘Preliminary economic assessment of the investment and operating costs of CO 2
capture in TEŠ Unit 6’ was concluded.
2.5.3 Achieving objectives in the area of
occupational safety and health
For HSE Group, compliance with relevant legislation represents merely a minimum
level which is observed and supplemented with the requirements of the OHSAS 18001
standard. After the internal and external recertification audits were successfully completed,
the auditors determined that the area of occupational health and safety is managed in
accordance with the standard. In 2012, the Group carried out all the activities planned for
achieving the goals, in line with the funds available.
