IBERSOL Sustainability Report 2018

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2018 EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND SAFETY Occupational Health and Safety is one of the key areas of any organi- sation, impacting not only individual well-being but also collective balance. Ensuring a culture of safety across all quadrants of the company is, therefore, a mission the Ibersol group strives to fulfil every day to encourage the participation of all employees in pursuit of the same goal. With such a diverse pool of employees, distributed across a host of countries, investing in prevention and safety, by raising awareness as regards best practices for individual behaviour, is the most efficient formula to achieving the desired outcomes. Based on these principles of awareness, in 2018, we did the following: • Conducted over 800 audits to monitor principles and practices. • Designed a best practices recognition programme, with the follow- ing initiatives: > ‘Não Caias Nessa!’ (Don’t Fall For It!) teaser, sharing the ranking of the safest units to promote the prevention of accidents at work; > Reinforcement of the ‘Venha Acompanhar Uma Auditoria de Se- gurança Connosco’ (Come With Us and Take Part in a Safety Au- dit) initiative, aimed at improving the knowledge of Safety Moni- tors and Coordinators on Occupational Health and Safety in their units; 67
