Fostering a wider care of the workers’ health, the Group is planning to defi ne minimum requirements for occupational medical surveillance, implementing a monitoring and reporting tool for occupational illnesses, even in countries where there is no enforced legal framework, and promoting actions to prevent occupational illnesses by end of 2010.
With the worldwide diffusion of the Swine Flu A (H1N1), the Group circulated an information paper providing details on what the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared. The Group asked its subsidiaries to provide basic hygienic conditions and necessary supplies in line with WHO recommendations, to spread the information on the pandemic and basic prevention practices, to monitor proper and effective application of the Group’s recommendations, to avoid or delay non mission-critical travel, and to carefully follow local public health
recommendations.
| FOR PUBLIC AWARENESS |
On April 28th 2009, the Group celebrated World Day for Safety and Health at work with a series of local initiatives and events carried out around the world through the active support of all subsidiaries.
This initiative, promoted by the International Labour Organisation, was aimed at raising public awareness on the benefi ts of a safe, healthy and decent working environment.
Dedicated messages from the Group’s COO and Country Managers were distributed worldwide at all levels, along with informative booklets, brochures and other publications regarding this event and the shared participation of the Group. |
