403-3 Occupational
and regular internal inspections (during yearly audits or with 6S
health services
walks (403-2))
- Working from home policy (in many entities)
All these services are provided during working hours, mostly at
the workplace and in the local language. Training is facilitated by
competent employees to make sure the information flow is correct and precise.
403-4 Worker
participation,
consultation, and
communication on
occupational health
and safety
Every entity is required to have some kind of employee
input on health and safety issues, especially entities that
do not have a legal work council to manage the SHEQ program. Therefore, every entity has a Health & Safety (H&S)
committee or a formal work council set up. When a formal
worker representation is available, legal requirements are
followed in relation to meeting frequency, responsibilities etc.
As for the H&S committee, it can meet as often as deemed
necessary, but at least once per quarter. Its role is to act as an
advisory body to the Country Management for all health and
safety issues and to monitor the implementation and coordination of the H&S management system. The members include
country management and delegates from the technical, operational and administrative departments.
39.23% (2022: 43.51%) of our employees are covered by the
union and works council that the company recognizes to bargain collectively on behalf of employees.
403-5 Worker training
We place a lot of importance on training our employees, and
on occupational health
our suppliers, especially those that are in direct contact with
and safety
our customers or those that work in our depots.
When new employees join the company they receive SHEQ
training regarding safe and healthy working and the environmental rules.
Depending on the position held, employees might be required
to go through more specific training. For example, the technical
team and operators continuously go through additional training
such as: OEM technical training, IPAF operator training, Welding
training etc. to make sure that their skills are sufficient and up-todate to do their job.
Almost all entities use a ‘’Skill Matrix’’ to document the skill
maturity-level (1-5) of the technical team, to map the required
and desired skills for the team, and to keep track of mandatory
certifications and training.
403-6 Promotion of
worker health
52
In most of our entities, we offer employees mandatory health
check up (in accordance with the local laws) and healthcare
coverage.
