Quality, health, safety and environment

As a company, you have obligations towards your employees and your customers, but also towards society. In his position as QHSE Manager, Marc Overgoor must ensure that JRC | Alphatron Marine fulfills these obligations with regard to quality, health, safety and environment (QHSE). Under normal circumstances it is already quite a versatile, demanding job, but with the coronavirus new challenges arose for the QHSE Manager.

“As the different terms in my job title might already indicate; my job is very multi-faceted,” explains Marc Overgoor. “Under the term ‘environment’ I am, for example, concerned with the possibilities for waste separation and solar panels. Making sure that the company meets all the standards for ISO-certification is a part of my job that falls under the term ‘quality’. Working together with different departments and classification societies is quite a demanding part of my daily activities, because it does not only concern the Center of Excellence in Rotterdam, but also the other offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Curaçao and the USA.”
