After 2021 was marked by several fatal accidents among
employees and subcontractors, the Group hired a specialized
consultant to assess its organization and its health and safety
culture. This consultant issued recommendations that have
been added to the Group’s internal analysis of the serious
and fatal accident prevention system.
REACHING A MILESTONE WITH THE “ENGIE ONE SAFETY” PLAN
At the end of this process, ENGIE defined an extensive
health and safety transformation plan to adapt the Group’s
prevention policy. Dubbed “ENGIE One Safety,” the plan
aims to sustainably eradicate serious and fatal accidents
affecting individuals who work for the Group – employees,
subcontractors and temporary workers.
The plan covers seven areas:
• strengthening the health and safety culture of all people
working for the Group;
• adapting health and safety governance and organization;
• reviewing the Group’s health and safety rules;
• reorganizing internal onsite health and safety audits
and support to entities;
• strengthening the Group’s health and safety function
with better support from human resources;
• improving the health and safety management
of subcontractors as well as in construction
and decommissioning projects; and
• a communication and a change management plan.
ONGOING REINFORCEMENT OF
THE GROUP’S HEALTH AND SAFETY CULTURE
In order to protect the lives of all those who work for the Group, ENGIE has constructed a health
and safety transformation plan driving requirements and stronger ambitions. Within this framework,
different prevention and awareness actions have been launched, aimed at Group employees
and subcontractors.
MEASURE THE PROGRESS MADE
The main measures applied in 2022 with regard to
the transformation plan were as follows:
• Adaptation of health and safety governance, integrating
Executive Committee monitoring of the “ENGIE One Safety”
transformation plan.
• Launch in test form at seven pilot sites of a brand new
training program designed for operational managers that will
be rolled out in 2023 to improve the efficacy of managerial
safety practices, such as safety inspections.
• Strengthening of health and safety rules, including those
for subcontractors.
• Revision of the health and safety internal audit process,
now focused on the prevention of serious and fatal accidents.
• Roll-out of a new communication campaign
“Never Compromise on Safety.”
INSPIRE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY DYNAMIC EVERYWHERE
ENGIE has also strengthened the safety rules applicable in all
its activities. As an illustration, the activities of installing and
operating rooftop solar panels have been the subject of a new
standard that defines the mandatory minimum requirements
to be met in order to control the major associated risks: falls
from heights, falling objects, electrical risks. The challenge
is to mobilize all teams around safety – business developers,
sales agents, contract managers, project heads, managers and
supervisors – who are responsible for managing the activity.
SHARE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY AMBITIONS
WITH THE SUBCONTRACTORS
In order to improve the safety of its subcontractors
Engie Solutions France launched the PEPS meetings
Partenaires Engagés Pour la Sécurité Partners
Committed to Safety The objective To build a safety
culture together that is based on rules and practices
shared and understood by everyone Thirty PEPS
events were thus organized in 2022 in mainland
France and the Overseas Territories in each operational
scope every time it was possible on an industrial site
They were an opportunity to share the same strong
ambition with entities employees and subcontractors
In 2022 1500 partners participated in these PEPS
events during which the safety requirements and
practices were shared This sharing took the form
of participatory and immersive workshops designed
to offer a better understanding of the joint safety
challenges
