ANNUAL INTEGRATED REPORT 2021

68 ANNUAL INTEGRATED REPORT 2021 | AXTEL = HEALTH AND SAFETY The overall health of employees, regardless of whether they work at home or in the field, is a priority for us. We operate a health and safety management system based on the Occupational Safety and Health Self- Management Program (PASST, acronym in Spanish) in accordance with the Mexican Official Standards of the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS). This program determines how we address these issues with employees and includes such activities as training, incident recording, implementation of preventive measures, medical supervision, and control. Furthermore, to provide follow-up on safety measures, manage possible health crises within the company, inspect workspaces, and manage investigations related to work-related accidents, we have a Safety and Hygiene Committee which represents 100% of our employees as well as a Safety Committee and Civil Protection Brigades. To eliminate hazards and minimize occupational risks we use safety guidelines for the identification and evaluation of health, social, and environmental risks: 1. Tasks and activities are described by job position. 2. The TSA (Task Safety Analysis) form is used to identify risk and classification steps based on their probability-consequence. 3. A risk matrix is established and assessed. When an occupational incident occurs we follow a process to identify improvements in the safety and health management system to prevent future incidents. 01 An incident and/or accident is reported to human resources. 02 4. The level of risk (control or prioritization hierarchy) is defined to establish priorities. 5. Risk mitigation and control measures (elimination, prevention, and control) are proposed. A report and investigation form is completed by the line manager in conjunction with Occupational Safety and Health OSH. 03 Causes and risk factors are detected. >04 Recommen- dations are issued. 05 A control is implemented and followed up with recommendations focused on training, the work environment, facilities, processes, machinery and/or equipment. OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS FREQUENTLY AUDITED TO ENSURE WE COMPLY WITH STPS REQUIREMENTS
