Safe work

• Carry out a Risk Assessment/Analysis before starting work;
• I stop working immediately if I cannot control the risk;
• I talk to my colleagues if they are not working safely;
• I know the safety rules and apply them everywhere;
• I use safe and proven equipment;
• I am authorized and trained for my job, otherwise I stop working;​

I make sure people follow all rules.

• I work in accordance with health and safety standards and local regulations;
• I conduct a risk analysis (LMRA) before starting an activity / changing tasks (e.g. work meeting);
• I always inform the manager, ask for a risk assessment when there is a new activity, a new tool, a new situation, etc.;

Start with LMRA, if you care about yourself and your people. LMRA (L-last, M-minute, R-risk, A-analize) or last-minute risk analysis - in practice, it means to check the conditions of a job yourself, practically, before taking it.

• I stay in a safe zone away from moving machinery and live equipment;
• I am alert to the movement of forklifts, freight trucks, trucks and cranes;
• I use sidewalks (if available) and remember that vehicles have priority over pedestrians;
• I do not pass through a designated work area (danger zone) if I am not authorized to do so;
• I use PPE approved for the work to be done;

Taking care of people means staying you and others in a safe zone.

• I follow instructions (Group Standards, Work Instructions, Health and Safety Instructions, laws);
• I only perform work at height if I am trained and authorized to do so;
• I conduct periodic inspections and always check equipment before starting work;
• I always have a second person to assist me and ask for help in case of emergencies;
• I maintain 3-point contact with the ladder when using it;
• I make sure the ladder/scaffolding is on a stable surface;
• I always use personal fall protection (safety harness, self-locking device(s)) when working at height

You take care of people if you STOP WORKING when there is no fall protection.

• When supervising and planting cargo;
• When moving containers and/or other objects/commodities;
• When a forklift/crane is working with suspended loads;
• In warehouses where goods are being stacked and removed from racks;
• I stay in a safe zone (safe distance of 1/10h but not less than 6m);
• I do not pass through the designated work area (danger zone) if I am not authorized to do so and if there are suspended loads in it;

Not entering/stopping others from going under suspended loads means that I take care of people.

• I never violate the general traffic regulations and traffic rules adopted at our branches/customers' premises;
• I always drive on designated traffic routes and park in designated areas;
• I always wear a seat belt, even when the car/forklift is not moving but the engine is running;
• I do not allow myself to be distracted by a phone/other device/situation;
• I adjust my driving style to the prevailing conditions (heavy rain, heavy traffic);

Taking care of people means that you protect yourself and others while driving.

• I do not drink alcohol and do not use drugs;
• If I take strong drugs, I will consult their possible effects with my doctor;
• In case of short sleep or stress at work, I report it to my supervisor;
• I don't start my work day if I haven't slept through the night;

I take care of people if I am able to meet the daily demands of my job.

• I always load goods into closed/secured units/trucks so as not to harm other road users;
• I always check that all elements of units and goods are well mounted so as not to harm other road users;
• I always check that the units and goods are well positioned on the truck so as not to harm our employees or other road users;
• I always check that units and goods have been secured before delivery or return;
• I always consider the route the unit takes from the starting point to the final position (take into account environmental conditions such as weather/terrain) so as not to harm other road users;

People take care of themselves and their families, and a traffic accident is not an option.

• I never use tools/equipment that I have not mastered and/or been trained to work with;
• I never use tools/equipment without authorization (e.g., work permit);
• I never use tools/equipment if I am not authorized (e.g., a manager has authorized you to perform a certain activity after training, after working for a certain period of time with a supervisor and mastering the activity);
• I always check the inspection;
• I always check the tool/equipment before use;
• I always check the presence of safety devices (e.g. safety lock, grinder guard, grinder handle, others);

You take care of yourself or care for people if you STOP WORKING when the tool/equipment does not appear to be working properly.

• I stay away from energy sources such as generators/gas boilers/high and low voltage systems;
• I only perform electrical work if I have the proper licenses and am designated to do so;
• I always check that the installation is not live before I start working with it; LOTO: disconnect the energy source, isolate, mark before working.
• I am alert to third-party work and never touch third-party tools without permission;

You take care of people if you demarcate the boundaries of your work area and post signs that work is being carried out with energy sources.

• I always check before starting an activity whether it requires a work permit (e.g., check the list of routine and non-routine activities);
• I always follow our life-saving rules, our standards, local regulations;
• I follow the instructions in the work permit;
• I wear personal protective equipment as required for the task;
• If I am unable to comply, I will inform and coordinate with the permit holder (e.g., supervisor/project manager/team leader/team coordinator);
• I ALWAYS STOP WORKING if I am unable to comply with the regulations while doing the job;

You take care of people if you talk to other colleagues when they are not working in accordance with the work permit.
