31 INSIGHT | Doing Business T o achieve such an ambitious goal, training and information for staff is crucial. The Zero & Beyond program was designed to get everyone involved in plants all across the Group. Zero & Beyond is a philosophy that gets our staff to become responsible for safety in every aspect of their lives, whether it is at home, in our community, as part of our commitment towards the people and the planet. “We are fully committed to provide our employees with a healthy, risk-free work environment, but also encourage each of them to take on a Prysmian Group aims to have the lowest injury rate in the European cables industry, and met its target of zero workplace injuries in 2020 in its plants and offices. Aiming for zero injuries with Zero & Beyond responsible and active attitude in every aspect of their lives, assuring their welfare and the trust of their families,” said Antonio Traversi, Corporate HSE Director. Safety is a common thread of an efficient organization. A safe organization is an efficient organization, and vice versa. We aim to build a culture of prevention that integrates safety, health and well-being, at work and beyond, by uniting employees around a shared vision and reducing the cultural differences between plants. In order to achieve our safety goals, the Group required each business to carry out a monthly safety review to identify any related weaknesses at the production plant and encourage, at the same time, the development of existing strengths. In addition, we launched a new safety system, complete with common methodologies and tools, to manage reactive, preventive and pro-active safety activities. This project will be completed during 2021. Zero & Beyond asks that every individual that works with Prysmian gets directly involved in plant and workplace safety. This starts with taking the time to fully understand the safety rules and guidelines of every environment they enter, and placing safety first in everything that they do. That also means taking responsibility for the environment around them, and never walking past an unsafe condition or act without addressing it. When seeing a hazard, lead efforts to address it proactively. Influence others to work safely and thank others for their influence. And last but not least, learn from every incident, every near miss and every benchmark available.
