Compliance is an integral part of our business model
Our people are at the heart of our business. Our management approach is license-to-operate. It is crucial to us that we can offer decent working conditions, that safety is in control, that conditions are attractive, and that our employees are continuously trained to deliver good craftsmanship.
That's what customers trust. Just as you can expect us to follow legislation and international standards. That we keep track of contracts, work permits, tax payments and housing conditions.
"We are very conscious of the impact our delivery can have on employees, on projects and on trust in us. That's why we are always in close dialog with employees and customers before, during and after an assignment."
- Mads Henrik Lindelof, CEO DMA International

Climate and environment
At DMA International , we work to optimize and reduce our environmental impact. That's why we are ISO 14001 certified. ISO 14001 is the most recognized international standard for environmental management systems. The certification is a guarantee that we comply with the relevant environmental legislation and that we also continuously set goals and environmental improvements. Among other things, we work with waste management and to reduce the waste of resources and always comply with local requirements and regulations in this area.
This means that our employees handle and sort waste responsibly and with a view to reuse and recycling. Another focus area is the maintenance of equipment and tools to ensure a longer lifespan and thus minimize material and resource consumption.
Our employees
The success of projects depends on us always delivering the very best results. Customer satisfaction is based on our competence, our flexibility and the confidence that we are always in control of processes, guidelines and legal requirements.
That's why we invest in our employees. We train and certify employees so that they are always top-qualified - also for specialized tasks. We do this at our own training center in Varna. We have employees with a diploma in HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) and all our people are HSE trained. We make sure that our employees have good conditions, that everything practical is in order and functioning so that they are motivated and can focus on what they are passionate about and good at.
And this also means that we expect our customers to treat our employees with respect and dignity.
Labor and human rights
We are committed to respecting and protecting the rights of our employees and workers in accordance with international human rights standards. This includes, but is not limited to, the following basic human rights:
No forced labor: We do not engage in or support forced, bonded or involuntary labor.
No child labor: We comply with the minimum age of employment as defined by national laws or ILO standards, whichever is stricter.
Fair wages and working hours: We provide employees with fair wages in accordance with local wages and ensure compliance with legal working hours.
Non-discrimination and equal opportunities: We offer a workplace free from discrimination and harassment regardless of race, gender, religion, age, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or political beliefs.
Freedom of association: We respect the right of employees to freely organize, form associations and bargain collectively.
Housing conditions when employees are away from home
When employees work on projects, they can't live at home. They will typically be out on projects between four to six weeks at a time and two weeks at home. This means they need a place to stay, and it's our responsibility to provide housing and that the conditions meet some minimum standards. This means that they at least have their own room, that they have access to a shower and toilet, and that there are proper kitchen facilities so that they have the opportunity to prepare food.
To ensure this, we do not accept them to arrange their own accommodation.
Safety in the workplace
We always focus on safety so that both employees and customers are safe. For us, health and safety is a top priority and we evolve in line with the ever-increasing demands in the field. It's important for us to ensure both the framework and management of the risks associated with the working environment.
That's why we have ISO 45001 certification, which is an internationally recognized standard in occupational health and safety management. With the standard's requirements and guidance, we ensure continuous and systematic control of the working environment, evaluation and targeted improvement of our efforts. We have procedures to both prevent and manage health and safety risks. This helps to reduce workplace accidents and create safe and healthy workplaces that motivate employees and increase productivity.
We make sure our employees have proper tools that are continuously quality assured and that they have the right safety equipment. We have employees who are certified in HSE (Health, Safety and Environment). All our people are trained in HSE before they are sent on a project, and they are equipped with the information in their own language. However, it's important that the customer informs and trains employees in the project's local guidelines and procedures so that everyone in the workplace has the same high level and common understanding of the expectations and requirements to avoid misunderstandings and cultural differences.
Quality management of processes and activities
We often work on large projects that require risk management and control of processes and procedures, and our services must meet regulatory requirements. This requires an efficient and structured approach throughout the value chain so that we always deliver high-quality services on time. This plays a major role in our business and in our collaboration with our customers, and we want to be able to document this.
That's why we are ISO 9001 certified. It is a quality management system that goes hand in hand with our other certifications in environmental management and occupational health and safety management. We use the standard's requirements as a guideline for how we conduct our activities and work continuously to improve efficiency, increase customer satisfaction and keep our employees happy and motivated.
In addition to quality management, we are also certified in the quality system for welding workshops, ISO EN 3834.
