Airbus // Universal Registration Document 2021
1. Information on the Company’s Activities / 1.2 Non-Financial Information
– – Substances and materials, such as those addressed in REACH regulation. – – Psychological risk, including from the impact of COVID-19 confinement and the related Company adaptations. – – In-situ contractors, including competence, interfaces and site transport. The impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is a continuing challenge. However, the main causes of occupational injury in 2021 were once again related to slip, trip and fall accidents, ergonomic incidents, and the use of hand tools and equipment. These represented the majority of injuries recorded on the FISH (Federated Information for Environment, Safety and Health), global environment, health and safety platform. In fact, slip, trip, and fall accidents resulted in 25% of the lost time injuries included in the lost time injury frequency rate. Employees and others on Airbus sites can raise health and safety concerns in a variety of ways. Employees can raise a near miss or incident declaration in FISH using a computer or mobile device. Line managers can share warnings and good practices using a red, amber, green flash alert process. A “go-look-see” process helps managers to identify risks and related mitigation actions. To support the promotion of a “speak-up” culture, the Company has the OpenLine to provide employees and third parties with an avenue for raising concerns.
including in Airbus affiliates, are monitored by the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system. In 2021, the Company-wide method for risk assessment and control was updated. This method consists of a sequence of logical steps to identify significant hazards, evaluate the risks and prevent, eliminate or mitigate them, following the hierarchy of control principles: elimination, substitution, engineering control, administrative controls and, as a final measure, personal protective equipment. The method for reporting and managing incidents and near misses has also been refreshed. It harmonises incident reporting between countries, taking into account applicable local regulations. The investigation and root cause analysis process described in this method supports the identification of risks and related mitigation actions. The principle health and safety concerns in 2021 consisted of the following topic areas: – – COVID-19 and the necessary adaptation of work activities; – – Working environment including for example, work at height; slip, trip and fall risks; site roads and infrastructure. – – Machinery and equipment, such as hand held powered tools, cranes and jigs. – – Physical agents, including noise, vibration and electricity.
IV. Implementation/Activities The overall incident management harmonisation process is enabling improvements in data collection, analysis and the production of reports. This supports the Company-wide key performance indicators.
