Olympic Engineering and Sales Corporation (OESC) recognizes the positive impact
of proper management of man and environment on both the individual achievement of each
personnel and the corporate success of every company. OESC developed a guideline in
which they call - Management Systems for Safety, Health & Environment (Man4SHE) for the
sustainable safety culture within our units of operations. It involves integral participation
of our personnel; the functional process which adapts to current workflows on each of our
projects; the relevant technology which delivers alternative methods on our operations;
and, the consistent support the OESC Management has committed to perform in all phases
of our trade.
It is OESC’s pride to adhere to these guidelines, in which the company, its personnel
and the environment, all stand benefited. Its development upholds our commitment to
ensure safety and health of our personnel, our client and those connected to all our
