Personnel safety

After an initial phase primarily focused on improving accident prevention, the second phase of the Group’s Health/Safety plan was launched to increase the fight against repetitive strain injury (RSI). In France, each manufacturing and logistics plant has set up an RSI steering committee and has nominated one or more RSI representatives who ensure risks are taken into account at every level – product design, monitoring workstations that undergo a great deal of use, mapping the level of pressure for each function etc.

All designers and local managers will be trained by the end of 2011 (250 were already trained in 2010) and a training module will be developed for operators. This action plan will be rolled out internationally, with local adjustments, in 2011.
