Health and Safety

Protecting our people at work. Wherever they are. Worldwide

Every day, across all of our locations, our employees will carry out work that is subject to rigorous risk assessments, rules and regulations.

Alongside adherence to best practice, we believe training and information are key in the prevention and management of risk.

We ensure all employees are aware of the implications for health and safety application both in and out of the work environment. Reducing accidents is our priority.

Adapting for a safer tomorrow

Every year, Prysmian’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reviews technical evaluations and updated rules and regulations to set out its plan for the future. On-going projects in support of health and safety include:

  • Streamlining analysis of events and the definition of preventive actions. Identify action plans to be used at the Group's other operating units.
  • Training on specific safety issues (with web-based training sessions being provided during the year) taking note of the previous year’s analysis to update the approach across central HR.
  • Implementing HSE health and safety management systems and assessing the safety aspects of new investment.
  • Comparing each location’s compliance against the Group’s central rules and regulations, assessing their suitability for certification.
