Operational controls and HSE Audits

The principles and regulations on occupational health and safety and environmental protection must be observed by all our staff and the staff of third-party companies with which we collaborate. 

This is why our Group's HSEQ organisational units, our operations managers and our safety coordinators carry out numerous field checks throughout the year to verify compliance with regulations and internal procedures and instructions during work activities.
In addition to these audits, there are also the standard ones required by the management systems that help monitor working environments and processes.
In our wind power and photovoltaic plants, HSEQ control activities for both our internal staff and our contractors have intensified a great deal in recent years out of a deliberate desire to counteract accidents as much as possible.

We believe it is essential to enter into constructive partnerships with contractors to address health and safety management, as such measures ensure continuous improvement for both parties.

We promote the importance of virtuous behaviour , both through the concrete example of our people and with awareness-raising and training initiatives for all external parties.

METHOD FOR ESTIMATING HOURS WORKED - THIRD PARTY COMPANIES
The hours worked by the employees of third-party companies have been estimated differently according to the technology involved.
Wind farms and offices Italy: hours worked recorded manually or based on time stamps of access to sites.
Wind Farms abroad: the estimate of the hours worked, given the technical impossibility of recording the presence of the O&M contractors with global service agreements, is based on a hypothesis that one FTE can service 15 MW, multiplied by workable days (260) and by 8 hours.
Plants under construction in the UK: hours recorded according to site report.

METHOD FOR CALCULATING DAYS LOST DUE TO INJURIES - THIRD PARTY COMPANIES
Report sent by the company of the injured worker.
