OUR PEOPLE AND THE VALUE OF HEALTH, SAFETY AND DIVERSITY
3.5 HEALTH AND SAFETY The Maire Tecnimont Group is committed on a daily basis to promoting workplace safety, environmental protection and people’s well-being. In general, a continuous focus is placed on creating a positive workplace, in which people can work safely, aware of the risk and consequences for the environment related to their job, and cooperating and sharing work and life experiences while growing professionally with their colleagues. For the Maire Tecnimont Group, as EPC Contractors, people have a distinctive value. Therefore, the risks relative to the health and safety of the employees present every day at home offices and construction sites are continuously assessed and mitigated. The safety and protection of people is not only a priority but a fundamental value that each of us puts into practice in all our activities, day after day. We are putting our efforts into increasing the engagement of our colleagues, clients and subcontractors, because HSE28 is a value which everyone believes in and identifies with. The challenge of our journey is to humanize HSE. Focusing on the prevention of any type of accident and the mitigation of any impact on the ecosystem, the Maire Tecnimont Group is therefore committed to providing workplaces, services and industrial plants compliant with applicable legal requirements and the highest Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) standards, while also encouraging “work safely” and environmental protection approaches for every area of Company operations and during all phases of project execution, both at home office and construction site level.
