Safety Performance Awards
GT’s culture built on responsibility, professionalism and mutual trust results in the commitment of all our employees to meeting our Clients’ expectations. We attach special importance to direct cooperation and effective communication with each Client in order to ensure the clearest understanding on every stage of the service.

GT puts strong emphasis on training and qualification of employees and the quality of the applied equipment and software, as evidenced by comprehensive long term training and investment plans. It is important to highlight the dedication of all employees to achieving quality objectives. Developing of unique seismic data processing software, not available in the market, which enables us to solve technological problems is a perfect example.
Prevention of injuries and occupational diseases is the highest priority in the everyday work of GT. Our approach to safety at work is expressed in our goal: striving for zero incidents & occupational diseases.
This goal is achieved with:
- Continuous hazard identification and risk assessment,
- In-depth post incident and near miss investigation process and implementation of preventive measures
- Appropriate HSE planning, e.g. in the scope of employees HSE competencies, work procedures, transport and journey management, inspections and audits, emergency preparedness
- Conscious and uncompromising implementation of prepared HSE plans
We believe that real leadership and personal example in day-to-day work of senior management, supported by visits in field units, is a key to success to incidents free operations.
Crucial in building safety culture is the involvement of all GT’s employees, enhanced by:
- Execution of Mission Zero Campaign incl. GT Life Saving Rules
- Development of HSE awareness through HSE trainings (e.g. BBS) and regular HSE meetings
- Implementing recent tools of HR and HSE, e.g. incentive programs, positive observations and unsafe acts and conditions reporting system, HSE contests
- First Aid Program
- Multidimensional open HSE communication, eg. meetings, safety alerts, posters, informative leaflets etc.
Our basic work rule is that each employee is responsible for their own and their co-workers safety. STOP Work Policy guarantees each employee, including the subcontractor’s employee, the right to stop work if work conditions cause a direct threat to life or health and/or are not in line with HSE regulations.
GT employees are supported in following safe work practices by a professional team of HSE Advisors having wide experience and qualifications including HSE studies and NEBOSH certificates.
Environment - Carrying out environmentally harmless operations
We believe that a healthy environment is essential for the proper functioning of society, our employees, our business activity and constitutes the core of a sustainable and strong economy.
Our efficient environmental system enables GT carrying out seismic projects in a friendly and harmless way for the environment in various conditions, often in environmentally sensitive areas, always in full compliance with legal regulations and environmental restrictions.
In GT, we set specific goals to increase our pro-environmental activity in order to fulfill the declarations of our Environmental Policy. Great significance is attached to:
- detailed identification of environmental aspects and adequate operational planning
- close cooperation with local communities and authorities
- broadening employees’ environmental knowledge and awareness

Wherever possible, in accordance with the idea of responsible business, we aim to connect ecological and pro-environmental activities. This trend includes extending the scope of the GT’s services into specialized geophysical (geo-engineering) services for the purpose of geothermal research and localization of underground storage for natural gas and CO2.
