Safety policies and contingency plans

Safety policy and Contingency plan

The Øresund Link must be safe, both for our customers who use the link and for our employees who work on it, and risks to the environment and property must be minimised. The risks associated with travelling on, or working on, the road and railway infrastructure shall always be kept as low as reasonably practicable, considering what is technically feasible and economically reasonable. Should an incident occur, emergency preparedness arrangements shall be in place to manage the event, both within Øresundsbron and among relevant partners and authorities.

Øresundsbron’s executive management is committed to promoting awareness, understanding, attitudes and behaviours that support a positive safety culture among employees and suppliers and is committed to ensuring that:

Safety is a natural and recognised part of everyday work.
Everyone is recognised as having a role in continuously improving safety.
Safety is considered in Øresundsbron’s decision-making.
Øresundsbron recognises and expects adherence to the principles of “Safety First” and “No Inquiries are Wrong”
Leaders at all levels shall demonstrate safe behaviour.
Managers shall support safe behaviours among employees and suppliers and, through their actions, foster a positive and appreciative safety culture throughout the organisation.

Øresundsbron maintains management systems that are continuously monitored and improved in terms of adequacy and effectiveness. These systems apply to employees and suppliers of safety-related services and ensure, among other things, that:

Organisational roles, responsibilities, accountability and authorisations are clearly defined and understood, and that tasks, responsibilities and powers are documented and known.

Measures are identified and implemented to address risks and ensure that the safety level of Øresundsbron is comparable to that of similar transport infrastructures in Denmark and Sweden.

Specific safety goals for road and railway safety are established and monitored.
There are necessary resources, competence and awareness.
Safety and emergency matters are communicated openly and constructively to all relevant stakeholders, including the public.
Changes to the facilities are managed in a safety-conscious and controlled manner, including the application of risk management.
Contingency plans, procedures and crisis management arrangements are established, maintained and regularly practiced, both internally and together with external partners and authorities.
Incidents, near-incidents, deviations and errors are recorded and analysed

in order to continuously improve safety and the safety management system.
Everyone is given the opportunity to report issues and submit suggestions for improving safety and emergency preparedness.
Legislation, standards, rules and other relevant requirements are monitored, and applicable legislation is complied with.
