7 THE POSITIVENESS OF HSE
7 The Maire Tecnimont Group strives every day at home office and construction sites to prevent any kind of human injury and illness, negative impacts on the environment and the violation of the human rights. In general, a continuous focus is placed on creating a positive workplace, at which people can work safely, can be conscious of the risk and consequences for the environment related to their job and can cooperate and share work and life experiences, while growing professionally with their colleagues. For Maire Tecnimont Group, as EPC Contractors, people make the difference. Therefore, the risks relative to the health and safety of the employees present every day at home office and construction sites are continuously investigated and mitigated. 106
CREATING VALUE
Attentive medical surveillance, together with capillary safety monitoring, contribute to a healthy workplace in terms of ergonomics, internal climate, illumination and safety in case of fire, earthquake, evacuation and of emergencies in general. At construction sites, the risk of injury is much higher due to the number of workers involved in very particular installation activities and in dangerous working environments. Activities change continuously and different hazards stem from confined space entrances, falling objects, excavations, hot works, working on high, scaffolding installation and many others, for which the Maire Tecnimont team performs detailed risk analysis to eliminate and minimize the probability and the damage related to an event.
The Maire Tecnimont Group is also focused on the negative impacts that all its business can cause to the environment, but also the positive impacts that a farsighted technological design can have to the climate change issue by decreasing emissions and energy consumption. The environmental ISO 14001 certification helps to keep under control all the emissions, energy and water consumption and waste production that all Group buildings hosting our employees generate. Areas of improvement are also identified to minimize electricity for illumination, computers, HVAC system, use of sanitary water and production of mainly paper, plastic and organic waste.
