Pillars of Sustainability
health and safety
Our company believes that health
and safety are interdependent
The 2020 pandemic posed many
challenges as far as health and
safety goes. Other than standard
programs, which often had to be
reinvented, several other actions
were implemented to raise aware-
ness and prevent Covid-19. Learn
all about them on the next pages.
To prevent the spread of Covid-19,
we were unable to conduct training
activities and major events, such
as SIPAT. But that did not stop us
from looking for alternatives to rai-
se the awareness of our employe-
es. We promoted online seminars
about topics of health and safety,
educational checkpoints and infor-
mational materials on our internal
networks.
By doing so, we managed to re-
duce absenteeism, which is when
someone stays away from work
for any reason, at the Portobello
and Pointer manufacturing facili-
ties, in comparison with 2019. We
got through 2020 without any lost-
-time accidents at four manufactu-
ring units. One of them has gone
for 45 months without accidents of
this kind. We are always seeking to
evolve in this regard. We also redu-
ced the number of total accidents.
