At the Port of Durrës, the safety and well-being of every individual — employee, contractor or visitor — is our highest priority.
We believe that every person has the right to a safe and healthy workplace, and we are committed to the “Zero Injuries” principle in every activity, from quay operations to administrative functions.
A Culture of Care and Responsibility
For us, safety is not only a rule — it is a core value.
We build a culture where everyone feels responsible for their own safety and that of their colleagues, where open communication and risk reporting are encouraged and valued.
ISO 45001:2018 Safety Management System
Our commitment to safety is supported by an internationally certified system ensuring continuous improvement. This system includes:
- identification and assessment of risks across all port operations;
- clear working procedures and a permit system for high-risk activities;
- transparent incident investigations to learn and prevent recurrence.
Empowerment Through Training
We believe that knowledge saves lives. For this reason, we provide continuous training for all personnel:
- mandatory basic training for all employees and visitors;
- specialised training for roles with specific responsibilities, such as equipment operators or cargo handlers.
Health and Well-being
Safety goes beyond accident prevention. We promote:
- occupational health through ergonomics, control of noise exposure and prevention of occupational diseases;
- mental well-being by supporting balance, stress reduction and a positive work environment.
A Shared Responsibility
Safety is a shared mission for the entire port community. Every member of the Port of Durrës is committed to:
- respecting safety rules and protective equipment;
- reporting any risk or unsafe situation;
- intervening when observing work that may compromise safety.
