About Us
:quality(50))
With safety as a significant element of the culture, SKS Technologies has an excellent track record in keeping people safe while at work. The business has not had a serious injury in its ten year history.
SKS Technologies has a raft of policies aimed at keeping its employees healthy and safe. Aside from the obvious ones relating to safe work practices when dealing with electricity, SKS Technologies also has strong positions on such scenarios as fatigue, mandating full allocation of time on rest and meal breaks; smoking, offering quit assistance and support through the organisation, if an employee decides to take that path, to achieve its zero smoking target; the safe and responsible use of mobile phones; and remote and isolated working conditions.
Sustainable Procurement
SKS Technologies believes that buying power can be used to generate social values that go beyond the efficacy of the goods it purchases to promote the advancement of important social issues, such as equity, inclusion and diversity. While the business must manage its cost of goods in a responsible manner that respects the financial commitment of its shareholders, it also recognises its role in sourcing its goods and services from ethical supply chains to drive the necessary social changes, reduce carbon footprints and encourage the use of renewable resources. This approach also means that it can actively encourage suppliers to replicate this approach, thus creating more value for the end-user customer in providing the customer an easier path to achieving its own sustainable procurement objectives and targets.

Environmental
SKS Technologies is committed to playing its part in operating differently to conserve natural resources and reduce human impact on the planet. All branches operate in compliance with industry and regulatory standards as well as expectations, practising energy and water efficient processes, choosing reusable, refillable and recycled options where available, avoiding the use of single use plastics, minimising the use of items manufactured from virgin materials, reducing the use of disposable items, and proactively sourcing goods and services that generate less waste.
The business also takes an interest in the advancement of technologies that reduce waste and boost environmental performance, both for its own environmental progress and commitment, as well as for that of its customers.
Regular environmental audits are conducted at all branches and sites to ensure compliance with SKS Technologies’ widely communicated policies and processes on waste and preservation of resources. Environmental risk assessments are performed at all project sites and services locations with a view to understanding the optimum means of reducing or neutralising the operational impact of any work performed for the client.
Emergency plans are developed in advance of a project’s commencement, and preventative actions are taken to address potential risks, where appropriate.
