Zero & Beyond

ZERO & BEYOND: DEFINING UNIVERSAL BELIEFS

Prysmian’s commitment to the Safety Culture is defined by the following founding beliefs:

  • human life and health are valued above all else;
  • all accidents are preventable and anything above zero is unacceptable;
  • leading safety improvement is everyone’s responsibility.

Therefore, Prysmian strongly encourages all its people to be accountable for their own safety and for the safety of all of those around them, and to be personally accountable for stopping any act that is unsafe.

This requires that all individuals who are part of Prysmian strive to:

  • make time to fully understand the safety rules and guidelines applicable to each environment they enter into;
  • lead by example, placing safety first in everything they do;
  • continuously reinforce safety expectations and reward safe behaviours;
  • encourage others to work safely and thank others for their contribution; never walk past an unsafe condition or act without first addressing it;
  • lead efforts to address known hazards proactively by using severity and likelihood to determine priority;
  • learn from every incident, every near-miss and every benchmark available.

And last, but certainly not least, they are encouraged to promote safety beyond the workplace and into their homes, as well as into all other aspects of their lives.

WHAT IS ZERO & BEYOND

Zero & Beyond is a commitment to making our lives safer and guaranteeing safety in every single moment of everyday life, from the workplace to the community. A way to engage employees in our most important core values: health and safety.

VISION, MISSION & VALUES

Zero & Beyond is primarily a mission, based upon a vision, driven by values. Within our commitment, Safety is a common thread of an efficient organisation. We aim at building a culture of prevention that integrates safety, health and well-being, at work and beyond.

SAFETY PHILOSOPHY

“Zero” represents the ultimate goal: zero fatalities, injuries, incidents and job-related illnesses. Beyond is how far we want this philosophy to reach, to achieve our goal not only at work but also at home and everywhere in our communities.

PILLARS

Our Zero & Beyond approach is founded on the belief that human life and health are valued above all else. That’s why Prysmian firmly believes that all accidents are preventable and leading safety improvement is everyone’s responsibility.

PROTECTING PEOPLE AT WORK AND BEYOND

Safety is key in every aspect of our lives. While on-the-job injury rates continue to decline, the number and rate of unintentional accidents at home are rising at alarming paces. We encourage our employees to take on a responsible and active attitude in every aspect of their lives, assuring their well-being and the trust of their families.
