Corporate Responsibility
Environmental and Health and Safety Policies
The nature of International Power's (IPR) business means it is imperative that IPR’s environmental and health and safety policies are complied with at all times. Even though a number of IPR Personnel do not work at power stations, due to the nature of our business, it is vital that all IPR Personnel are aware of these policies. Copies of these policies are set out below: There will be specific environmental and health and safety procedures at every site that will detail the necessary requirements for that site. These procedures shall, as a minimum, comply with IPR’s policies. All IPR Personnel must ensure they are aware of, and comply with, site specific procedures.
