The company policy on health and safety defines and applies the company’s dedication to continually improving and maintaining the safety of its workers and the protection of their health in the work place.

All is scrupulously carried out in respect  of legal norms, contracts, procedures, and internal company regulations which govern the issues of safety, prevention, hygiene and health on work sites.

To enact this policy, METRONAPOLI uses its human, technical and financial resources, as well as the conviction that the protection of personnel health and safety is relevant as envisaged in the principles of the Articles of Incorporation, and coherent with its own Behavioural Code.  The application of this policy at all levels of the organisation is considered an imperative. 

The definition of this policy and the subsequent identification of general objectives- as well as those specific to a certain period- stem from careful and objective analysis of the internal situation, from proven results and actions to taken, as well as requests made by workers and interested parties.

Both the policy and its objectives are systematically re-examined during all meetings held by the COMMITTEE ON HEALTH, SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT, in order to assess its adequacy and the extent of its application and achievement.  This group was created in January 2008 and is presided over by the General Manager of Metronapoli.

The company policy is applicable at all levels of the organisation, and is communicated and transmitted to every employee.

This however does not change the scope of responsibilities regarding work safety which are attributed to the Offices of Technical Planning, Safety and the Metropolitan Environment, the Cable Railways, and the Director of Operations.

In view of the above, the Company has set out the following goals in its “Annual Plans for Improving Health and Safety in the Workplace”:

-Reduce health and safety risks to the minimum level possible by adopting appropriate means of evaluation and protection of the technical, organisational and procedural types, able to be implemented in the context company operations;

-Progressively enhance health and safety standards through continuous improvement based on: definition of measurable objectives, improvement plans, management and control systems which allow for the timely undertaking of preventative and corrective actions;

-Effect and maintain healthy and secure working environments;

-Communicate to the personnel the content of the company policy and inform them of various risks associated with the carrying out of their activity;

-Provide training to the personnel in order to increase their awareness and knowledge of these risks, as well to encourage appropriate behaviour;
