Health and safety training
As an integral part of its policy on workplace safety, Artemide
provides awareness training on the issue to all personnel. The
Group has always strived to increase worker’ awareness of health
and safety, both through specific training and by setting up a
specific mailbox for risk reporting. Compulsory trainings relating
to health and safety are the subject of national regulation, which
provides specific schedules for the provision of training and
updating courses.
In 2020, the Behavioral Safety Workshop was continued, involving
both factory and office staff of the Group's three Italian companies.
This course, lasting a total of 24 hours per person, aims to raise
workers' awareness of safety issues through the observation of
self and surroundings, acting on their behavior (becoming "Safety
Leaders") and improving certain soft skills, such as communication
and collaboration. Several short meetings, known as “pills”, were
organized on the relevant topics, including driving behaviors,
managing emergencies, good posture and handling loads. The
course started in June 2019 and continued throughout 2020,
subject to the limitations and training requirements imposed by
the pandemic.
As part of this course, there was also a day dedicated to fire-
fighting training using virtual reality visors and equipment, which
took place in July. Through this innovative training method,
the contents of the compulsory training were updated both
theoretically and experientially by means of a practical test that
involved the participants personally.
