Annual targets:

Focus: Preventing road-related risks in France In September 2018, the Group signed up to the “7 commitments for safer roads” road safety initiative in France. Although we have relatively few road accidents, road-related risks are one of the main causes of fatal accidents at work and it is crucial to have a suitable prevention plan. After signing the commitments, the Group communicated broadly on this theme, and the related messages were also disseminated internationally via social media (Yammer). For example, short videos were shot with staff members to promote each of the seven commitments (a country manager for France, SBU managers, a regional manager but also heads of sales, a travelling technician and a driver). R 4.4.2.2 MONITORING AND IMPROVING HEALTH AND SAFETYATWORK The purpose of monitoring the effectiveness of prevention measures and implementing a progress process is to improve the health and safety data (workplace accidents and work-related illnesses). This monitoring is assessed on the basis of six prevention criteria, which are evaluated through the Health & Safety at Work reporting process: W consolidation and monitoring of indicators; W systematic analysis after an accident at work; W periodic professional (para)medical interviews to monitor health; W legal and regulatory framework monitoring; W implementation of a strategy to prevent the risk of musculoskeletal disorders; W sharing of feedback and best practices on risk prevention at the Group level. Each subsidiary has an objective to fulfill at least four of the above- listed six criteria before being able to claim that it has reached a satisfactory level of prevention. 2014-2018 Group priority To implement the health and safety monitoring and improvement process and maintain coverage of at least 90% of the workforce, with the objective of reducing the Group’s workplace accident frequency rate by 20%. Key performance indicators: W the percentage of the workforce covered by the health and safety monitoring and improvement process based on ILO-OSH 2001; W the frequency of workplace accidents.

2018 achievements: At the end of 2018, the health and safetymonitoring and improvement process covered 97% of the workforce included in the Occupational Health & Safety report, exceeding the target set. During the roadmap period, the frequency of accidents at work fell substantially, by 50%, from 8.37 at end 2013 to 4.21 at end 2018, as opposed to the target of 6.70. These positive results are mainly due to closer supervision of Group entities and their increased engagement with CSR, thus ensuring the reliability of the associated actions and indicators. It should be noted that the accident frequency rate rose slightly in 2018, mainly because of accident levels in France, where special arrangements have been put in place to address the situation. At the same time, the accident frequency rate improved significantly in the rest of Europe (including Italy), Asia and Africa.

Focus: Real-time accident reporting Legrand has introduced real-time reporting of workplace accidents, which are reported directly to the Group Chief Executive Officer. A monthly report for each geographical region and SBU is circulated. Each quarter, this presents results by type of equipment, nature of the injury and injured body part. The report enables the Group’s General Management and local management to monitor accident indicators more closely. This in turn helps to raise awareness of accident trend rates and coordinate action plans more effectively. The consolidation and monitoring of health and safety indicators demonstrates the commitment of the entire Group to improving the process of occupational risk prevention. It also seeks to guarantee the representative nature of the results reported.
