  • S-A1

We create safe workplaces and strive to minimise the risk of accidents and occupational diseases. We inform our Employees about the potential risks, procedures to be followed should the risks materialise, and the preventive actions. The Group’s companies frequently introduce ergonomic improvements. The occupational health and safety rules applied in the Enea Group are compliant with the applicable laws. All internal safety regulations are adapted to the existing requirements and the current conditions and situations.

We are always looking for new technical and organisational solutions to improve the robustness of our OHS system. The safety of our Employees is continuously monitored and improved, as guaranteed by our internal policies, procedures and instructions. Among others, we conduct regular checks of tools and equipment as well as controls of working conditions. We do our best to shape and promote safe behaviours among our Employees.

Some of our companies have social labour inspectors who inspect the OHS conditions on behalf of the Employees and put forward improvement proposals. The Employee representatives sit on OHS Committees operating in some of our companies. The OHS issues are also included in internal collective bargaining agreements.

In 2023 – after the COVID-19 threats – our Group regulated the matters associated with remote work. Among others, we developed our occupational health and safety manual for remote work, updated the occupational risk assessment for remote work, and defined safety and ergonomic principles when performing remote work. We also started the process of bringing internal rules into line with the government’s regulations on work health and safety at workplaces equipped with display screens.
