Plastic Omnium - 2018 Registration Document

3 STATEMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE CSR integrated in the business lines PLASTIC OMNIUM 2018 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 105 A dedicated organization is responsible for implementing this policy: HSE managers report to the Operational Managers. The Group’s HSE/CSR Department provides dynamic leadership of the network of HSE professionals by creating and implementing shared policies and tools. Because safety concerns everyone, managers have targets and are trained in conducting Top Safety visits to identify any gaps and report them so that they can be corrected: 24 training sessions were delivered to 301 managers in 10 countries. 148 technicians took part in the 13 “Stop 5” training sessions in 9 countries. 55,450 Top Safety visits were carried out in 2018, i.e. 2.31 per employee, a steady increase, proving the effectiveness of the training. Training and awareness-raising are an integral part of the overall management system, which aims to consolidate the Company’s safety culture by changing attitudes and behavior. The Top Safety training program was reviewed in 2018 to monitor changes in the safety culture. There are several stages in the introduction of a safety culture. Firstly, the Company’s ability to progress from the necessary responsiveness to the introduction of an ad hoc management system, which generates a compliance obligation. Then comes independence, with safety being a consideration for each person on his own account, and finally interdependence: safety becomes a shared responsibility. From the beginning of its safety policy, the Group has been progressing through these stages and now wants to train its employees to become independent on the matter. This requires the training content to be modified to encourage personal commitment and proactive behavior. NUMBER OF MANAGERS AND TECHNICIANS WHO HAVE RECEIVED TOP SAFETY TRAINING 2017 2016 2018 278 163 441 301 148 449 214 250 464 Technicians Managers NUMBER OF TOP SAFETY VISITS PER EMPLOYEE PER YEAR 2017 2016 2018 2.20 2.31 2.10 projects, benchmarks and management, and working conditions. These notably include management systems, behaviors, working conditions, including chemical and noise pollution risks and equipment and site safety. Each year, the sites self-assess their own progress across the 75 proposed actions. In 2018, 74% of the actions were completed according to the sites. Concerning pedestrians, use of personal protective equipment, self-propelled trucks, suspended loads, stop and start operations and working at heights, Plastic Omnium stands firm: these rules, known as the “6 non-negotiable rules” are at the heart of all of its procedures: training and awareness, communication, signage, Top Safety visits, internal audits, etc. The Top Safety program encompasses all actions to be taken across five pillars: machines and equipment, employees and managers, sites and The fact that ISO 45001/OHSAS 18001 certification is obligatory for all sites proves that the Group is serious about implementing an effective management system. In 2018, 75 of the sites were certified, stable, compared to 2017: 13 new sites were certified in 2018, offsetting the closure or disposal (Environment Division) of 13 certified sites. Furthermore, insurers visited 45 sites over 12 months in 2018, to ensure that Plastic Omnium’s fire prevention and protection standards were being applied. NUMBER OF SITES CERTIFIED TO ISO 45001/OHSAS 18001 STANDARDS 2017 2016 2018 75 75 79 Working conditions and ergonomics Good working conditions are an important part of creating a healthy environment for employees. The engagement survey conducted in 2016 resulted in the implementation of local initiatives: crèche and concierge services in France; management of overtime hours at some sites in the United States; a remote working pilot in France, Slovakia and Germany; and a well-being policy in the United Kingdom, etc. The important work done on ergonomics continued in 2018. Thus, Clean Energy Systems has built a new approach with the introduction of a network of ergonomics coordinators across all production sites. Mapping of the workstations has begun using a rating tool enabling the main limitations (physical and mental) to be analyzed. In partnership with operators and their managers, coordinators must analyze all workstations on their site and suggest ways to prevent or eliminate the problems identified. Workstations identified as having more than 3 problems are specially monitored, and the engineers who design the workstations are so that they can take these problems into account in future designs.
