The Colors Gulf Assurance: Integrated Quality, Health, Safety & Environment

Our commitment to Quality and HSE is a holistic management system, not a set of isolated policies. It is the framework that governs every decision, action, and deliverable, ensuring project success while safeguarding our people, clients, and the environment.

Our Certified Quality Management System (ISO 9001:2015)

Our system ensures consistency, prevents errors, and guarantees traceability from raw material to finished product.

The Colors Gulf Quality Journey:

• Project Kick-off & Review: Quality objectives are defined. Client specifications, codes, and standards are meticulously reviewed.
• Incoming Material Control: All materials are inspected against purchase orders. Mill Test Certificates (MTCs), Chemical Composition, and Mechanical Test Reports are verified and filed. Material is clearly tagged for traceability.
• In-Process Controls (IPQC):
  • Fit-Up Inspection: Dimensions and alignment before welding.
  • Welding Surveillance: Use of calibrated equipment to check parameters (amperage, voltage, pre-heat). Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) govern all work.
  • Dimensional Checks: At critical stages using laser tools and templates.
• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Performed by certified Level II technicians.
  • Visual Testing (VT): First line of inspection for all welds.
  • Radiographic Testing (RT): X-ray/Gamma ray for internal weld defects.
  • Ultrasonic Testing (UT): For sub-surface flaws and thickness measurement.
  • Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT): For surface cracks on ferrous materials.
• Final Inspection & Testing:
  • Hydrostatic/Pneumatic Testing: For pressurized equipment as per code.
  • Load Testing: For structural components where applicable.
  • Surface Finish Verification: Coating thickness and adhesion tests.
• Documentation & Handover: The final project dossier includes all records: As-built drawings, MTCs, WPS/PQR, NDT reports, test certificates, and inspection release notes (IRN).

Our Health, Safety & Environment Culture (ISO 45001:2018)

We believe all accidents are preventable. Our goal is zero harm.

Proactive Safety Management:

• Risk Assessment & Method Statements (RAMS): Developed for every task, identifying hazards and defining safe systems of work.
• Training & Competence: Mandatory induction for all. Regular training on Working at Height, Lifting Operations, Hot Work, Confined Space, and First Aid.
• Workshop & Site Controls:
  • 5S Workplace Organization: Maintaining clean, orderly, and safe facilities.
  • Machine Guarding & LOTO: All equipment has safety guards; Lock-Out-Tag-Out procedures are strictly followed for maintenance.
  • Permit-to-Work System: Formal authorization required for high-risk activities.
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Mandatory use of appropriate, high-quality PPE; regular checks and replacements.
• Emergency Preparedness: Clearly marked exits, fire extinguishers, first-aid kits, and trained first-aiders. Regular emergency drills are conducted.

Environmental Stewardship:

• Waste Management: Systematic segregation of metal scrap, used abrasives, paint waste, and oils. Disposal is handled only through licensed, authorized contractors.
• Pollution Prevention: Dust and fume extraction systems in workshops. Use of low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paints where possible.
• Resource Efficiency: Optimizing material usage in nesting software to minimize scrap. Implementing energy-saving measures in our facilities.
