FOSTERING A SPIRIT OF SOLIDARITY
Pooling with others on the road to increased safety is the way to go in Canada where the Toronto DVD Services site joined the site Employee Insurance provider safety scheme whereby the site is given five goals to achieve each year and meets with peers and shares best practices. Occupational safety addresses physical risks as a priority. In Piaseczno, the circulation of vehicles was reorganized in the warehouse to prevent collision with pedestrians and in Huntsville, metal railing was also installed to similarly separate employee walkways from forklift operations. ERGONOMICS AND FITNESS In non-industrial sites where occupational risks include health risks associated to sedentary lifestyles, ergonomic and fitness awareness campaigns or office ergonomics training sessions were proposed. The Chennai site proposed to workers some health related workshops such as Yoga, eye and dental camp, general medical check-ups, Friday fitness sessions. The New York MPC site proposed a healthier selection of snacks for the Studio and has organized a one-day Health Fair with local service providers including massages, nutritionists, chiropractors, fitness instructors. Health screenings are also part of the benefits enrollment. In Issy les Moulineaux, one hour ergonomic training sessions were proposed to groups of employees after which individual visits were made on demand by the trainers. In Los Angeles at The Mill a wellness month was proposed to promote healthier living. Some sites are experimenting with multi-position desks allowing sitting or standing, such as in Edegem or Boulogne. GENERAL HEALTH PREVENTION In Mexico, Guadalajara, Tultitlan and Mexicali sites propose employee vaccination programs and annual health campaigns to detect chronic diseases such as diabetes, cholesterol an overweight with the support of local health authorities.
In many locations, donations in time or resources were made vis-a-vis local communities. Of particular note, to cite a few among many others, the Manaus site led campaigns to prevent Dengue fever, reduce traffic accidents, promote breast cancer early detection, and led awareness campaigns in public schools on the environment. Camarillo employees participated in coastal or inland waterway clean-up actions. Chennai employee held stands at the local market to sell their products to collect funds for buying new fans for an old age home as well as offered gifts for children in need. The Memphis site collected money to donate to the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Technicolor has initiated some discussion bearing on health and safety with employee representatives in countries where structured dialogue with employee representatives is well established. Technicolor understands that each employee has the ability to impact Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) efforts and performance, thus it is critical that they are provided with the appropriate tools, resources and knowledge. EH&S training programs develop awareness and skills that allow employees and contractors to perform their jobs in such a manner that will not only ensure compliance with appropriate laws, regulations and policies, but also so that they may prevent accidents which may lead to injuries or harm to the environment. Training programs are evaluated during the EH&S Audit process and are a core requirement in the EH&S performance measurement process. EH&S Training In 2017, about 36,552 hours of documented training on a wide variety of environmental and safety compliance and protection, injury prevention, emergency preparation and response, and occupational health topics were provided to employees and contractors throughout Technicolor. Community Outreach and Employee Initiatives Technicolor sites facilitated a variety of community outreach and employee protection initiatives in 2017, including medical exams, vaccinations, flu shots, blood drives, wellness programs, massage, yoga, ergonomic evaluations, first aid training, holiday adoptions, food, clothing, eyewear collections and other cash, product, and time donations.
