Wärtsilä’s occupational health and safety principles are defined in the company’s policy and directive on occupational health and safety (OHS). Wärtsilä’s subsidiaries must have a management system in use that conforms to the OHS policy and directive. The main aspects in the management system relate to compliance with legislation, identifying and minimizing occupational health and safety risks, personnel training, providing written instructions, the use of protective equipment, and continuous improvement of OHS performance.
The objective of Wärtsilä’s occupational health and safety policy is to prevent and manage health and safety risks to personnel and stakeholders. In addition to the management system, Wärtsilä companies apply OHS programmes required by local legislation, which are normally implemented in OHS committees consisting of representatives of the companies’ management and personnel. Accidents are recorded and investigated in the manner required by local legislation. Altogether 65% of Wärtsilä companies have an occupational health and safety committee.
The indicators used to measure occupational health and safety performance include the number of accidents, the amount of absence due to sickness and the frequency of accidents. There were no fatal injuries in Wärtsilä’s units during the review period.
