A Safe Workplace

EADS is committed to keeping its employees safe. Its Divisions have detailed health and safety policies that are implemented at site level.

Our top priority is safety

Our health and safety policies are implemented by the Business Units and subsidiaries, and reflect the specific dangers at individual sites. Safety policies are based on evaluating, anticipating and managing the risks at sites, eliminating them whenever possible. Day-to-day management of health and safety is handled at site level, allowing measures for protection of employees, contractors and partners to be defined and implemented to meet the specific requirements of each workplace. Reporting on health and safety complies with national regulations, depending on each site’s location. Some health and safety indicators are, however, compiled at Division and Business Unit levels, allowing us to monitor performance. Individual sites perform activities to raise awareness of health and safety. For example, there is a strict policy of only allowing authorised people within the working zones of final assembly areas, and notices alert workers to the risks they face.
