III. HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK

4. Management of the Covid-19 crisis and impacts

1. Description of the risk

We were taken by surprise by the magnitude of the Covid-19 pandemic, with which we have been faced since the beginning of 2020, and the speed with which it spread throughout the entire world. Given that the Group has operations in China, the Health & Safety team became involved in the issue very early on with “crisis management” style operation. The response to this unprecedented situation primarily involved the definition and implementation of appropriate health protocols, specifically setting out all the measures put into place to protect against the spread of the virus: physical distancing, hand hygiene, enhanced cleaning of workstations, the wearing of masks, limiting travel and journeys, remote working, etc. A standard protocol was thus defined at Group level, then rolled out across each of the sites, taking into account the local situation and the governmental measures specific to each country. These protocols were regularly reviewed to reflect the changing health situation and government measures (lockdown, curfew, travel restrictions, etc.). Regular meetings with the Group’s various sites and entities helped to coordinate the implementation of protocols, to share feedback including the difficulties encountered, such as, for example, the procurement of masks at the beginning of the pandemic, and to provide as much as possible a united response. The rapid mobilisation of the entire company, the commitment of management teams and the collective efforts made all helped to protect the health and safety of everyone, with a very limited number of suspected cases of infection in the workplace and no serious cases recorded to date. On the issue of health and safety, the results of the Somfyscope survey reflect the importance of the measures undertaken. With a score of 8.6, the element relating to taking into account safety in the workplace rose 0.4 points in relation to 2018. 5. Results and KPIs The 2020 results show a significant increase in the frequency rate of accidents resulting in an absence of more than one day (up 14%) and a severity rate that was stable overall in terms of the collection panel for social data. This rise resulted from an increase, in relation to 2019, in the number of accidents in distribution subsidiaries combined with a significant reduction in the number of hours worked. Nevertheless, the frequency rate improved at the industrial sites (falling from 4.90 to 3.93) as did the severity rate (from 0.17 to 0.13) but without however managing to offset the decline at subsidiary level.

The Health & Safety risk is inherent in any professional activity and Somfy places the protection and safety, and physical and mental health of all its employees at the very forefront of its concerns. Depending on the type of activity carried out, this covers the risk of accident at work, risk of occupational disease – primarily musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) – as well as psychosocial risks. In relation to industrial activities, the major risk is related to manual handling and to the ergonomics of the workstation. 2. Policies The Group’s Health & Safety policy is primarily based on the assessment and prevention of the risks to which employees may be exposed in order to reduce such exposure and improve working conditions. This primarily involves a collective approach which comprises, for the different types of activities pursued within the company, identifying the type and importance of the existing risks and defining the related preventive measures. This leads to annual improvement programmes in association with the employee representatives. It also involves an individual approach which requires each person, at their level, to be aware of the risks to which they are exposed and adapt their behaviour as a result. The training and communication initiatives implemented in relation to Health & Safety are intended to maintain and develop this level of awareness. 3. Initiatives Major initiatives implemented in 2020: introduction of a new Health & Safety organisation at Group – level, strengthening of the team (two people); start of construction of a Group Health & Safety management – system, drafting of the Group Health & Safety policy for launch during the first quarter of 2021; analysis of chemical risks at Cluses and Bonneville: inventory of – chemicals used (greases, lubricants, adhesives, etc.), collection and analysis of Safety Data Sheets (SDS), identification of at risk products (substitution of products, protective measures, etc..); introduction of MSD prevention programmes. At Group level, – finalisation of a guide to designing workstations ergonomically; At Somfy Activités SA: modification of supply and removal of parts and modernisation of the QT40 production line equipment, various improvements on the NL40 line (raising, reimplantation, adjustment of position of controls), definition of rules for rotation between workstations aimed at reducing the repetitiveness factor in relation to the site’s four main ranges; prevention of psychosocial risks: training of managers, listening – and personalised support service, e-learning; management of the Covid-19 pandemic from a health – perspective (see dedicated insert): this crisis has shone a spotlight on the Health & Safety teams and their vital contribution to protecting everyone’s Health & Safety.
