At MeCure Industries PLC, we prioritize the health, safety, and environmental well-being of our employees, the communities we serve, and the ecosystem. As an ISO 9001:2015-certified organization, we rigorously adhere to local and international HSE standards, including the guidelines from Nigeria’s National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) and the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA). Through continuous improvement, we foster a culture of responsibility, transparency, and sustainability across our operations.
The health and safety of our team are paramount. Our comprehensive HSE policies include regular training, rigorous safety protocols, and ongoing risk assessments to create a secure and supportive workplace.
Employees receive training on emergency preparedness, safe equipment use, and HSE best practices. Specialized courses on first aid, fire response, and PPE use are conducted frequently.
Quarterly emergency drills and robust response plans ensure that our team is equipped to handle potential risks, with designated muster points and emergency kits on-site.
We hold HSE Weeks focused on environmental housekeeping and safety awareness, instilling a strong culture of responsibility among employees.
Our commitment to environmental protection is reflected in our proactive approach to reducing emissions, managing waste, and preserving natural resources. Regular environmental assessments and an active Environmental Management System (EMS) help us identify areas for improvement and implement sustainable practices across our facility.
Effluent Treatment : Our on-site Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) ensures wastewater meets regulatory standards before discharge. Comprehensive filtration and treatment processes help maintain water quality and prevent pollution.
Air Quality Control : Advanced filtration systems and regular equipment maintenance keep air pollutant levels well within permissible limits, protecting both employees and the surrounding community.
Solid Waste Management : Waste materials from production are separated, packaged, and recycled in partnership with Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA). By using designated disposal methods, we minimize our impact on landfills.
MeCure Industries is committed to upholding local and international environmental and safety standards. We comply with NESREA’s requirement for a tri-annual Environmental Audit and LASEPA’s bi-annual audit requirement, ensuring that our operations are transparent, responsible, and sustainable.
Adherence to ISO Standards: Our compliance with ISO 9001:2015 underscores our commitment to quality management and continuous improvement.
Regular Environmental Monitoring : Quarterly monitoring of air, water, and noise levels ensures we meet or exceed regulatory thresholds, with data submitted to relevant authorities for transparency.
Water Conservation Efforts : We implement water-saving measures across production processes, ensuring responsible usage and conservation of local water resources.
The results of our recent Environmental Audit highlight our commitment to maintaining low-impact operations:
Air Quality : Emission levels, including those for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), are within regulatory limits, indicating minimal air pollution impact on the surrounding environment.
Noise Levels : Noise levels are maintained within permissible limits in most areas. For high-noise zones, employees are provided with ear protection, and administrative controls are implemented to limit exposure.
Temperature and Energy Efficiency: Our facility’s temperature levels remain below the regulatory limit for tropical environments, promoting a comfortable and safe workplace. Investments in energy-efficient equipment further reduce our environmental footprint.
MeCure Industries is committed to advancing our sustainability efforts with measurable goals that enhance our HSE practices and environmental performance. Our upcoming initiatives include:
Enhanced Waste Reduction : Further optimization of waste disposal and recycling processes to minimize landfill impact.
Expanded Renewable Energy Use : Transitioning to cleaner energy sources and upgrading facility infrastructure to improve energy efficiency.
Employee Engagement in Sustainability: Involving employees in sustainability efforts, from recycling programs to conservation initiatives, ensuring that every team member contributes to our environmental goals.
