Among Plastic Omnium’s top priorities, safety is seen as both a right and a responsibility for all employees. In September 2008, the Company launched a Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) plan to be deployed over a four-year period. This continuous improvement process is built on four foundations, each sponsored by a member of the Executive Committee. In addition to equipment conformity, the plan hopes to bring about behavioral changes based on an in-depth analysis of operator practices.
In 2007, the centralized system for managing the safety of people and property received OHSAS certification.
With continuous improvement as its driving force, Plastic Omnium’s HSE plan focuses on four key challenges:
- Eliminating exposure to serious accidents while reducing the total number of accidents.
- Preserving the Company’s industrial assets.
- Helping to enhance managerial skills through the PO Way.
- Reducing environmental impacts as much as possible (water, air and soil).
