"SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE IS A FUNDAMENTAL VALUE OF OUR SUSTAINABILITY CULTURE, AS IT IS THE PROTECTION OF OUR EMPLOYEES’ HEALTH"

Safety begins and ends with employees and their behaviors. We achieve and promote this core value through rigorous training and instruction on occupational health and safety topics as well as the active participation and involvement of all employees in our safety program at every level.

We believe that all injuries and work-related illnesses can be prevented. In achieving this goal of “zero injuries”, our management strives to lead by example through visible and exemplary behaviors and actions of our supervisory and managerial staff, their proactive commitment to the improvement of health and safety at our sites, and their active seeking of involvement from all employees to contribute to the achievement of health and safety related goals.

The Golden Rules of our Group

We have defined rules and guidelines valid for everyone to standardize behavior, share health and safety best practices and create a Group culture based on common principles. Our Golden Rules are the operational guiding principles on health and safety at work, issued by Cementir Group at the beginning of 2021 with the aim of preventing accidents and thus protecting employees at work. The Golden Rules are a prerequisite for developing a proactive and responsible safety culture, where the principle “Each one protects everyone” applies. GCI is part of this culture where everybody has a role and bears a responsibility to prevent incidents.

OUR COMMITMENT

We firmly believe that part of the framework for prevention of work-related incidents and illnesses is the effective implementation and maintenance of an OH&S management system in line with international reference standards and group guidelines and rules, based on the following key requirements:

responsibility

Risk Assessment

Identify and assess the hazards and risks associated with all operational activities (e.g. routine and non-routine, complex operations) as a precondition to provide safe and healthy workplace. H&S is about conducting a prior risk assessment for any operation.

Rules

Regularly review workplaces and tasks to ensure compliance. H&S compliance is mandatory and must be constantly guaranteed at all levels of responsibility.
