For our people

Most of the Group companies have implemented certified health and safety management systems. Moreover, with a view to constantly enhancing the operational management of occupational safety, we have put in place additional tools, including the Group Guidelines on Safety and the HSE (Heath, Safety, Environmental) dashboard to measure and monitor the performance data on which improvement interventions are based.

Our companies have undertaken a number of training activities with regard to health and safety:

• Acea organised an Emergency management – Knowledge and awareness – course which, in addition to fire and earthquakes, also dealt with biological and environmental emergencies and terrorist attacks. The process, which saw the participation of 1,406 employees and provided a total 11,248 hours of training, also addressed the issue of emergency and disability;
• Acea Elabori organised refresher courses on specific risks (chemical risk, biological risk, radioprotection, etc.), emergencies (ASA), first aid (APS) and Responsible Person (Preposto) training courses;
• Acea Ato 2 continued the Camper della Sicurezza project, which enabled a widespread promotion of the occupational safety culture, via travelling initiatives at workplaces and sites; the company also arranged training courses on the use of defibrillators and completed two training courses on Accidents and Near Misses and Management of emergencies;
