Social responsibility Instructions are an important part of a proactive safety culture. They equip employees with the knowledge they need to perform their work safely, promote a general awareness of safety issues and provide a realistic assessment of any risks. In short, they set out how all employees can promote safe practices and prevent accidents. Instructions highlight the potential risks, describe how employees should conduct themselves safely in the workplace, explain the safety devices and equipment in place and specify what personal protective equipment must be worn. As well as instructions, we also offer other relevant training that addresses specific areas of the company with an elevated safety risk, for example in the production department, where topics such as machine safety, fire safety and health and safety for managers are covered. In Austria, for example, nearly 30,000 instructions were given in-person and online during the reporting year. All of our employees (100 %) are covered by the occupational health and safety management system. Moreover, in line with our Supplier Code of Conduct, we expect all our suppliers and partner companies to put the necessary measures in place to protect the health and safety of their workers. ➔ GRI 403-4, GRI 403-5, GRI 403-8 Instructions and training 67
