Health and safety

Employees safety and health

In our business, safety and health at work is very important. We operate in accordance with external regulations, such as laws and regulations relating to health and safety. We also have internal guidelines.

Each company in our Group manages occupational health and safety issues separately. Dedicated specialists who usually work in specially established for that purpose departments are responsible for those issues. Company’s Social Labour Inspectors operate in selected companies such as MEC Piła.

Examples:

• Central Processing Unit of Health and Safety Service in Enea Serwis,
• Labour Protection Office in which Senior OHS Inspector supported by OHS Specialist are employed in Enea Oświetlenie,
• Manager of Labour Protection Office in Enea Operator.
