Risk identification
The identification of health and safety risks is carried out
periodically by the internal HSE (Health, Safety and Environment)
department at each site of the Group, as part of a process that
must comply with the legal obligations of the relevant geography.
This analysis allows to contextualize the activities carried out
at each site in order to identify any significant risk for activities.
These analyses are consolidated into a Risk Assessment Report,
which identifies preventive measures to eliminate and, where not
possible, reduce to a minimum, the risks to workers' health and
safety. The company’s management approves the final document.
This process allows the Group to identify possible improvements
to the management of the issue, which are subsequently included
in a plan aimed at improving worker health and safety conditions
over time.
With regard to its production facilities, the greatest risks are
linked to the use of equipment (machinery etc.). To eliminate or
minimise these risks, employees in Italy are equipped with specific
Individual Protection Devices (PPE) depending on the activities
carried out and their department. The importance of using these
protective devices appropriately is also stressed during training.
Regarding the processes set in place to facilitate health and safety
communications with employees, periodic meetings are held,
specific to the geography in question, between management
and employees, in order to share problems, exchange information
and define improvement plans and programs. During both
"institutional" instances, such as periodic safety meeting or in
occasion of health and safety risk assessments, and on other
more informal occasions, worker consultation and participation is
encouraged and active contribution is ensured, so that everyone
can contribute to improving risk management practices.
Depending on the regulations of each country, workers have
their own representatives who, by law, are able to make requests
regarding health and safety.
With respect to the management of personal information on the
health of workers, the Group's established practice addresses
workers’ health monitoring in relation to the health and safety
risks to which they are exposed: information on health checks is
confidentially managed and filed and disclosed within the company
only insofar as it strictly concerns operational obligations.
