Occupational health and safety is affected by many factors. Our task is to recognise and minimise the potential risks. While employing a person, we assume responsibility for them and continuously work on the improvement of safety standards.
The companies of the Capital Group of Grupa KĘTY S.A. have implemented OHS policies compliant with the legal regulations, adequately to the conditions present at the plants, as well as the principles resulting from industry standards.
Before starting work, each employee is instructed on how to safely perform their duties. At workstations there are available instructions and the principles of performance and supervision of works. Training and instruction for the employees, suggestions systems, and actions aimed at hazards identification and risk assessment are performed on regular basis. Safety is also monitored in the form of audits.
The safety management systems at the Capital Group companies comply with the regulations binding in the respective country. Teams are appointed to analyse the situation and incidents on a current basis and to identify OHS hazards.
Team managers are responsible for the organisation of workplaces in accordance with the regulations, considering protection of employees against accidents at work or occupational diseases, and enforcement of OHS principles abiding by the employees.
Efficient management of the area is possible thanks to procedures defining the paths of conduct in the particular situations, as well as assigning accountability.
Grupa KĘTY S.A. has appointed a team of OHS specialists responsible for monitoring the work environment.
In addition, the managers of the particular organisational units appoint teams under their leadership composed of the Corporate OHS Officer, Employee Representative, Shift Foreman and other specialists, as appropriate, who:
- identify hazards that the employees and contract workers as well as visitors and other people in the workplace may face in a particular job or in a given area of the Company;
- indicate the sources of hazards and the possible effects of such hazards;
- estimate occupational risk;
- suggest preventive measures aimed at reducing or eradicating occupational risks.
As a result of such measures, the occupational risk for a given job is assessed.
All employees of the Capital Group companies are subject to the activities of teams responsible for safety at work.
