HEALTH & SAFETY
We are committed to promoting a culture of health and safety by creating a positive work environment where personal experiences are at the center of a shared journey that helps colleagues grow professionally.
Our HSE Policy specifies the principles, objectives and targets, roles and responsibilities, as well as the management criteria necessary to supervise each HSE issue.
We pursue our objectives and targets with the direct involvement of all staff in each area: design, purchasing, construction, and commissioning of our plants. Workplace safety is therefore not only a priority but a fundamental value that each of us practices every day. We strive to increase the involvement of our colleagues, customers, and subcontractors because HSE values must be shared by all. We have successfully created an innovative Safethink brand as the basis of a new, shared HSE culture and identity. Our challenge going forward is to strengthen that culture through a deeper campaign to put a human face on HSE and get all employees and stakeholders involved. We want to make sure this new HSE vision is adopted by each of us in every single activity.
Training is at the heart of our path, which is essential to ensuring the development of professional skills and abilities for all employees in our Group. For this reason, our program includes specific courses to improve HSE knowledge, divided by the specific job and role of the employees involved.
Over the past three years, we have dedicated more than 7 million hours to training, and since 2020 we have enhanced the awareness plan originally launched in 2018. With this in mind, the Safethink brand has evolved, becoming the cultural basis of our awareness program, representing the core around which all program initiatives are based.
Over the past three years, the aggregate hours worked at our Group's offices and sites totaled more than 222 million.
In 2021, we recorded 53 million working hours at construction sites for the Hydrocarbons Business Unit, with an average injury rate (LTIR) constantly below the sector average. Using the same reference data in 2020 as for 2021, the Lost Time Injury Rate indicator recorded was three times lower than the benchmark while the Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) registered was two times lower than the benchmark.
LTIF Five year rolling average
per Million hours
By their very nature, events classifiable in the LTI category are infrequent. Therefore, in order to statistically depict their trend over time, we need to adopt a much longer observation period than a single year. To this end, the IOGP (International Association of Oil & Gas Procedure), whose statistical analysis we use as an industry benchmark in the HSE field, has adopted the 5-year rolling formula for the LTIR indicator, and our organization has done the same.
An analysis of trendlines in recent years confirms our Group’s commitment to excellence in reducing accidents. In fact, our values remain consistently well below the IOGP benchmarks, and in last five years, the trend has clearly been downward, as is immediately visible in the graph.

SAFETHINK: HSE AWARENESS PROGRAM
We launched a five-year plan with the aim of defining a new approach to HSE culture in order to facilitate the general empowerment of HSE awareness within our Group. Our HSE Awareness Program breaks down into a series of initiatives.
