Safe working environments
Ambition At DOVISTA, our strategic driver of conducting responsible business places focus on providing healthy and safe workplaces. This is supported by our model company objectives, and the ambition of zero work related accidents. Performance in 2021 • 18% improvement overall versus 2020 • Our largest production facility in Poland went from 19 to 12 accidents in the past year, an improvement of 37% What we did In line with our ‘zero-accident’ ambition, we have es- tablished a central HSE function. Its purpose is to en- able on-site responsibility by securing data reliability and transparency while at the same time coordinat- ing initiatives that help to share valuable information across DOVISTA. As we are also in the process of welcoming many new colleagues from our recent acquisition, employee health and safety is a material
topic that is receiving our highest priority. To coordi- nate this effort, HSE and Quality areas have joined forces to create a central QHSE function capitalising on the strengths of the Quality organisation. Accident prevention being a key driver, we will sys- tematise communication after any accident, and relay this information to all relevant sites with the purpose of raising awareness and triggering preventative ac- tions through a best practice approach. To support our managers and secure data transparency, we have developed an HSE Cockpit that will be the tool for efficient monitoring of all reported incidents and their subsequent actions. Also in line with our ‘zero-accident’ ambition, clear medium-term roadmaps are being developed. This will ensure both continuous health and safety im- provement in response to pre-existing working conditions, as well as providing the right investment support for preventative measures. This journey has started with our largest production facility in Poland
